Nose

Confectioners sugar and McDonald’s soft-serve vanilla ice cream with warm caramel sauce. Booze-soaked raisins and roasted chestnuts.

Palate

Malty, sour and a little hoppy. Water brings out cooked orchard fruit and strawberry and blackcurrant jam, peppered with baking spices like vanilla and cinnamon. There’s just a touch of smoke and sulphur there too.

Finish

A touch sulphuric and bitter.

Comment

There’s a touch of butyric too but less pronounced.
