Nose: milk chocolate coated butter cookies (petit ecolier), almond scone, biscotti, coffee being roasted a block away

Palate: a giant wood hug, tobacco, carob malt balls, cloves, using a licorice root to clean your teeth, pineapple upside down cake.

Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – I quite enjoy it, while Ryan finds it a hint too intense. That said, its DNA really lends itself to an elegant additive for a good banana bread or pudding.
