Pale and crystal malts broadly show across the palate and are soon deepened by dusty cocoa and bittersweet chocolate notes that go towards molé (cinnamon and nutmeg). The spice on the back palate expands with further impressions of cream, butter, clover honey, honey roasted peanuts, and the sweet citrus Semillon wine. The malts continue to show throughout and after a few sips the sweetness of licorice and chocolate mint give a cooling sensation as the long finish goes towards gunpowder tea and ale.
