NOTES:
Nutella | Buttery suede | Graphite
Warm and fuzzy. Always a great time whatever time you can reference the infamous pencil lead note. Malty--must include the eraser. But lettuce begin again at warm and fuzzy. Peach fuzz'd orbs or milk chocolate/hazelnut and buttery suede. Some salinity. The mineral tendencies are tightening feels more than flavors. Warmth comes from a mingled orange-yellow pepper-spice.
Consistent and weighty but not cloying. I do feel a bit like my tongue slipped into an ugly Christmas sweater and is now headed out to a silly-billy drunken office party. Jovial. Lightly-airily nuanced in fluffs. Not really complex but not really trying. Complex folk don't get invited to parties. Nice long legs and at their ends--crazy socks. Butter pecan. Some sorta eggnog. Another sorta (spiced)rum.
Burns on a mildish and self-correcting wobble, perhaps a tickly-quickly. Not much of an ash builder. A bit of a hard/soft spot mix up-under and 'round band but an excellent draw remains unaffected. Assemblage is hung with care. Would pair well with milk and cookies. Moderate+ smoke out-put makes it smell like something is about to come out of the oven. Cloved ham. Chocolate chip cookies.
