Appearance: Very dark brown body, no appreciable head.
Smell: Earthy freshly-milled spices alongside a rye grain piquancy. Strong dark fruitiness. With a bit of warmth, the individual spices become a bit easier to discern.
Taste: Fairly sweet taste of dark treacle and dark German bread. Earthy spices, cinnamon and nutmeg. Touch of peppery rye and wood barrel tannins. Slight hint of bitterish orange peel, but moreso a rich dark fruit character. Glug of alcohol warmth. As with the aromatics, as it warmth a bit more orange showing in the flavor. Finishes spicy-sweet and warming.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Light, low carbonation.
Overall: Pumpernickel meets the qualities of a bourbon-soaked fruit cake.
