N: A little peppery kick initially, a mix of black & white peppers (heavier on black). Behind that - vanilla and malt. Gentle and slightly watery fruit notes, white peach, a hint of apricot and some nice subtle honey. 

 

P: Slightly woody mixed with malt and light honey, a slightly thinner mouthfeel. Pepper again; this time white pepper with a faint dab of cayenne. Gets a little dry and slightly bitter; a bit earthy.

 

F: Malty with slight pepper; honey, a little buttermilk biscuit with the honey for  second, but it fades in favor of an earthy cantaloupe rind finish.

 

This is a touch oddly-balanced; the pepper is a bit assertive and overpowers the fruit, as does the slightly bitter and musty side of things.

Nose: Nice nose with malt and wet hay

Palate: Malty, perfumy and a tad soapy

Finish: Malty

 

I like the nose on this a lot, but the soapy note on the palate is a bit too strong.
