Tasting Notes

Nose

The scent of spice is powerful. Theres pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon, all with the aromatic earthines of fresh bark. It has the strength and clarity of nosing an open container of mixed spices.

Palate

The mouth feel is creamy and smooth, with a strong body of yeasty bread. This gives the spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clove a delectable savory quality. It has the taste of a spiced coffee or eggnog, but with neither sweetness or bitterness. The finish lets the spices settle and fade with a slightly chocolatey note.
