EYE
Apple juice

NOSE
Malt, caramel, vanilla beans, toffee, fruit, oily spice and a bit of copper. It might be a bit limited in scope, but the richness of what’s there is quite nice.

PALATE
Malt, caramel, toffee, orchard fruit, vanilla, dynamic dark sweets, creamy vanilla and some copper with a bit of lemon and hazelnuts. I’m a bit surprised by the richness.

FINISH
The medium fade of malt, cinnamon oil, toffee, vanilla, and fruit.

BALANCE, BODY & FEEL
Good sense of balance, medium body and a feel that’s heavier and oilier than I’d expect for 40%.
