N: Overripe apples. Light leatheriness. White pepper, hints of sherry. A very faint whiff of smoke. Apricot and a touch of peach. Pink grapefruit and a touch of cara cara orange. 

 

P: Light mouthfeel initially, gentle wood influence which gets chased off by the overripe apples. There's also a slightly sour-apple-candy kind of top note to it. Moderate maltiness underpins it. 
 
F: Heavy malt leads the finish wihich has the apples and fresh apple cider right behind it. Honey and a light touch of nutmeg. 
 
It's not bad. It still doesn't grab me; I want something to balance this as it gets a little runaway with the apple note on the palate.
