NOTES:
Dessert spices | Leather | Cashew butter

Sweet warm spices wrapped in glove leather, densely-held above a confectionarily-bent cashew butter body. Lives somewhat-'tween an egg cream and a chocolate malt. Orange Julius tendencies; as long as that citrus component holds in-check, is as long as this smoke is positively delicious. 

[In three samples, that citrus turn happens early, a bit later, and much later(in this review specimen).] Each time, it does knock the blend off-kilter. Lip-coating.
