500ML bottle picked out of the fridger-frater at 11PM after determining tomorrow is a sick day. Mental health day. I ain’t goin’ to work day? Take your pick. Split with my wife.
Black. Flatter than the morals of a tech giant. The nose is sweet with gentle notes of chocolate & nuts. Barrel not so much.
F--- Chocolate Hazelnut doesn’t square the circle. Hazelnuts are all over this but there’s a weird, cinnamon-esque background that seems out of place, & the barrel is all but missing except for a goose to the perceived alcohol. Chalky, which doesn’t improve its charm. Sorbet in some flavor I don’t like. Thin. Underachieving.
Much like the first F--- I had, putting a limp dick to the Transient name. Those seeking Buckley & Kentuckley & MoreChucklyrey such as myself will be disappointed. Decent.
