Andrew’s Tasting Note

Nose: floral, creamed heather honey and melons; vanilla icing sugar and whipped cream on Belgian waffles; candied lemon and lime.

Palate: malty, soft, creamy and coating; very floral and waxy with loads of vanilla; whipped cream on Belgian waffles with lemon and lime; drying with leather and oak shavings; peppery with some clove and black licorice jujubes.

Finish: long, coating and spicy; more clove and late Dutch licorice.

Comment: a malty and juicy malt with lots of black licorice.
