Deep, dark brown color to the pour. There's small amounts of agitated carbonation, but it's quick to fizzle out and settle flat in the glass.

The nose brings loads of fruit and caramel; undertones of earthiness, butterscotch, and raisin fuse into a complex, layered sensory experience to lead into the palate.

Initially, the palate is mirroring many of the same qualities we were getting on the nose. That is to say, boozy raisins, spiced, earthy oak, and hints of vanilla round out the initial punch that fades into the mid-palate. On the finish, we get a touch of caramelized cherry, golden raisins, and Rolos.

Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Low carbonation, and even without a full mouthcoating experience there's great length to the finish. Subtle warmth and subdued richness.
