Nose: Robust malt leads to bready yeast, Custard Cream biscuits, and crusty sourdough. Stewed pear, brown sugar, and sweet tea wind throughout.
Palate: A soft start, with a slow build of delicate spices, creeping on the edge of the palate, cushioned by oily barley. Baked apples and pears appear, bringing a reminder of spiced apple tealoaf.
Finish: The spices come forward to take a bow at the end with peppery warmth, while caramel sweetness coats the palate. Green apple and apple sweeties linger.
