Nose
Buttery yeast roll with dark roasted caramel and peanut notes reminiscent of Cracker Jacks; toasted brown sugar and sorghum character.
Palate
Buttery and viscous with oily mouthfeel; sweet upfront with roasted caramel, peanut, and chocolate notes; transitions to a drying, lightly bitter finish with black pepper spice, coffee, tobacco, and leather; excellent coating and chew.
Finish
Strong-medium length with lingering black pepper spice, coffee, tobacco, and leather; drying quality balanced against residual sweetness.
