Nosing: Eiche Dunkle Schokolade Sherry Kirsche Erdbeere Karamell

Taste: Malz :cereal: Früchte Herb Eiche Dunkle Schokolade Öl Chili

Finish: Malz :cereal: Herb Eiche Chili

Comment: Wonderfully complex on the nose. This starts off mild with an oily cereal taste, and then the rich fruitiness hits you fast and hard. There is a bitterness that lingers with cereal and malt flavours, and a hint of oak and spiciness on the throat. The spiciness reminds me of a chilli.

It is very smooth and pleasant.
