Nose: Tomato vines, barq’s root beer candy, buttermilk , pickling spices, starved sourdough starter and orange marmalade, subtle dill herb, fresh basil and almond pesto butter / pan seared gnocchi. A very prominent oak haymaker.

Palate: Very bright and wood is super intense bringing loads of burning heat. A mouth drying astringency. If you can get past it, touches of chocolate, and a vanilla / cracked black peppercorn ice cream. I’ve got chili peppers drying on my windowsill and am days away from crumbling them into a paste. I hope they mature into something with this concentrated punch

Rating: 4 (Ryan) 5 (Shane) / 10 – Maybe better to have used tree 6 for a campfire, it was rather rude. But, as Ryan, says, it probably had a rough childhood and we shouldn’t judge it just based upon abrasive behavior during one night on a pub crawl.
