The robust palate opens with baking spice and mesquite, leading into a long, savory, almost meaty finish that suggests maple bacon finished with cracked black pepper, plus a ribbon of butterscotch.
Aromas and flavors of caramel and cinnamon, waffle batter and maple, sharpie, and banana peel and baking spices with a velvety, lively, dry light-to-medium body and a peppery, interesting, medium-length finish that presents notes of cascara tea, caramel, mocha, and banana and bitter chocolate.
