NOTES:
Black walnut | Oak | Black licorice
It's all so ::: very ::: roasty-toasty. The levels of such sometimes threaten to overwhelm its complexities. Still, excellent play in nuttiness/woodsiness w/ an out-front black walnut. Slight-candied almond, hickory depths. Oak is smoky-charred and braces the profile well from w/in therein. A definite as heck black licorice comes on at long-lasting crisp finish. A good, clean moderate heft.
Underneath & behind is a lush herbal-laced earthiness. Pardon me for perhaps succumbing to marketing, but quite 'forest floor.' In the in-between of forward & back is a neat pepper-spice play of green peppercorn, mintiness. Mexican oregano. Interesting af. All this really shines as effervescence beats back toasty-roasty a tad, bringing better balance in 2/3. Nicely smooth and well-rounded.
Tremendous smoke out-put yields a sweet toasty aroma, simply-so. Rushing-pouring clouds, actively & passively. Almost a bit much but never irritating to my sensitive, intelligent eyes. Ash builds clumpy & flakey. Burns a tick warmer than warmly. Even enough line. Pulls exceptionally smooth. No hard/soft spots, decent seams, well-appointed cap. A good 'nuff performance to allow dwelling on palate subtleties.
