Bottle. Tan head. Motor oil black.

The Spanish cedar is awesome. Very unique. Lots of chewy wood/oak. Tobacco, leather, fudge, bourbon, figs, caramel, plums, raisins, and dried apples. Very awesome blend. Strong, warming. Big barrel influence.

Midnight black viscous pour, clean. Lively nose: rye, wheaten bourbon, dark chocolate, char, with hints of dried cherry, earth, licorice and wood root. Very rugged up front in the taste: rye, wheaten bourbon, dark oak and charred earth lead, then that cedar, black strap molasses, and anise kick in, before dried dark cherry, plum, a whisper of toffee and a resounding note of barley finish. Feel is smooth and thick, yet has plenty of barrel textures, warm and sharp, decently heavy too
