“Aroma initially dominated by herbal and pine hops. Vanilla, oak, whiskey follow with a light cocoa and a dark toasted-grain background. Assertive wood character in the flavor, with an aftertaste of dark sweet chocolate, a hint of coffee and whiskey, raisins, dates. Dry finish with a lingering chocolate sweetness.”
