Nose of penaut brittle and Bit-O-Honey -- strong Bit-O-Honey.  There's not a whole lot going on in the palate, but what's there is entirely inoffensive in every way and good.  Honeyed, medium-sweetness with traditional stuff like caramel, vanilla, and apple.  Finish is medium-length, with a little excess heat, and some nuts/cashews/peanuts in the tails.  That Bit-O-Honey thing really carries all the way through... and I like Bit-O-Honey a lot, so that makes this somewhat craveable for me.  I would think that any average bar-goer would really take to this -- it's very "smooth."
