Nose: Warm notes of wood smoke with a tint of green - herbs or cut grass. Soft malt with and mild spiciness. Chilled riesling white wine in the shade on a lazy summer afternoon. Earthy and creamy.

Taste: Full bodied and creamy in character. Lively! Spices, fresh fruits and green herbal notes. There is a whole lot going on, but there is structure and method to this. Salt and pepper, mint, eucalyptus, basil and cut grass. Creamy vanilla.

Finish: Medium to long finish. Remains creamy and rich all the way. The peat and smoke is very well integrated. Green, earthy, fruity and just warming.

Comment: Yummy!
