Sweet and complex on the nose, with coffee, chocolate, caramel, and brown sugar all showing up. Chocolate covered cherries and hints of vanilla come along with warmth. On the tongue comes the dark fruit sweetness of raisins, bourbon-soaked oak and chocolate covered coffee bean. Traces of smoke and char pop up against a mildly spicy alcohol bite. Other than being a touch thin, this is excellent.
