NOTES:
Dark chocolate | Raisins | Nutmeg. Softly robust cocoa notes are enhanced by those nutmeg-forward spices. A hint of cinnamon & slight clove attachments, there. That's backed by red/purple fruits; predominately a raisin, but there are plums & prunes, as well. Syrupy but not in a cloying manner. Black pepper braces well & a sweet-spiced toasted cedar delineation is quite nice.
Underbelly envelopes, circling 'round top in an earthen manner. Compost & rich potting soil. Dense & very nuanced. A complex profile. Cuban coffee fleshes out the middlings alongside a heavy umami dose of savory meatiness. Robust & well-mannered. Heavily luxuriant. Supremely balanced. A bit of roasted salt meets the primaries on the long finish, aids to cleansing well. A very wide stance filled exceptionally well.
Smoke out-put is smoky af offering umami sweetness in its lingering footnote, w/ a smooth pepper-spice kicker. Burn-line is even, & grows oily clingy ash slowly, meditatively. Seams & cap assemblage hold flawlessly. Draws effortlessly gate-to-wire. An old favorite, well-worth tracking down & getting to know.
