NOTES:

Blackstrap molasses | Coffee | Hickory

A big, gregarious thing. Blackstrap molasses drives and flirts w/ cloying at times. Coffee is a dark roast via French press, aptly-so, as it's squeezed a tick. Hickory is the main component of a woodsy gambit which shows a toasted cedar & boozy oak barrel. Nicely delineated. Once a finely-ground black pepper comes in, we get some nice balance. Leather & fennel seed round it out well. Undertones mainly-all happen under that woodpile.

Butterscotch, a papaya lilt. Nutmeg, hint of clove. Milk chocolate happens on its own (out from under wood) & at the 1/2. A toffee sidles up there. While the notes are all rather toasted and darkly-so, the underbelly is surprisingly bright by contrast. Chicken coop, some clay earth. Terra cotta. A nice complexity, that & complexities are well displayed, all told. Graham flour. Almond extract forward macaroons

Burns on an even-line, at maybe the quickish side of moderate pacing. Draws smooth as silk. Seams & packing hold fine. Big smoke out-put on the puff, mutes quickly when passive. Still, an excellent sweet-savory room-note culminates. Clouds are dense and oily, a sentiment found on the body, too. Finishes there in a similar sweet-savory manner on long legs. Creamy. Dreamy.
