NOTES:
Whoppers | Ginger snaps | Cafe au lait
Pleasant tasting, harmoniously-so, but a bit lemony drying and somewhat vacant in spots. Creaminess, almost an egg cream, rallies against the drying and really does do quite well for itself via progression. Does fill out come the 2/3. Ginger snaps dial back some in favor of salted caramel around then.
Honey flavored graham crackers. An evolving and transitional (for the best) smoke. Migrates to where it needs to be at the 1/2 and then coasts slowly with a rising lemon meringue. Seams are a bit uneven. Burn-line waves and is a tick thick in spots. Excellent ash. Sweet, creamy olfactory with a slight zetz.
