Nose: Spicy with cinnamon and clove. Honeysuckle bursts through after a minute, with chocolate and caramel in tow. Charred oak and a touch of red chilli.
Palate: The spice continues on the palate, but with a much more herbaceous approach. Sweet, jammy notes develop, before making way for cluster hops and white pepper.
Finish: Quite drying. Touches of Black Forest gâteau appear near the end, rich in cherry sweetness.
Overall: Spicier than the first batch - one for the autumnal months...
