NOTES:
Chicory | Cayenne pepper | Coffee bean
Big up-front & tapers into subtleties on the back-end. Soft edges, mainly. Some a bit gruffly-so. Cushioned sander? Nice heft of toasted cream, earthiness. Also in the primaries are a structuring chickory backed by scorched oak. Full city roasted beans. Decent delineation, big notes. Simple delivery. Gettable, gotcha. Not complex. Not easy either. Lets ya in, tho.
Undertones are led by a cayenne that occasionally excelsior!s upwards. Seems to steer the profile from wherever it sits. Earthen nods are savory things, meatily. Cumin & smoked paprika, too. Dash of cinnamon further down. Then a roasted orange in more toasted cream. Leather thickly-stiffly lays out under it all. A bit of molasses. Warmly balanced. Deeply nuanced.
Smokes well, nicely paced. Burns on a goodly line but builds some fugly ash. Cap & seams are stoic, static. Till the 3/3 when they (seams) loosen a tick. Excellent smooth draw. Sating+. Moderate smoke out-put yields a juicy meaty aroma w/ nice spice attachment. Black walnut addition to finish of long legs and primary notes. Sort of a bruiser, but flicks a deft jab on occasion.
