BOOM. Black pepper up-front. Yet refrained 'nuff to allow anise and molasses to peek out brightly from underneath. Maple wood, buckwheat pancakes, dark tropical floral bits -- all emerge as BOOM dials back but too, stays present. Spoiler alert: it rears back up in the 3/3.
Undertones are a high up fudge braced by coffee beans. All in a very darkly toasted manner but not inky, per se. Underbelly is a grapefruit thing sending rays upward from a leathery compost barnyard bottom.
Spiced cream body and a big one, at that. Finishes long and bittersweet savory via notes of chocolate & coffee & meat. Performance-wise the thing is sans complaint and I'm tired of needless nods to seams, hard/soft spots, ash. So: won't (beyond that). Draw is excellent.
