Nose: Malted grains, raisins, lemon zest, chocolate, white grapes, hints of brass polish.

Sweet, but with a robust bitter edge - walnuts, green tea, cardamom, maybe even some ginseng. Lots of tart notes to this, with maybe just a hint of sourness. Warming and delicious.

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
