Nose: Mainly malt, complemented by the scent of red berries. A hint of wood smoke and toasted oak, along with a slight earthy smell, like a root cellar, and a touch of rhubarb.

Taste: Medium-bodied and rather dry. Black pepper, soot, and warm ashes, with a background note of orchard fruits.

Finish: Medium-long and dry. There's more black pepper, along with earthy flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, and peanut shells. It's a bit dusty, and ends with a taste similar to 85% dark chocolate but with a smoky kick, like isot chili.

Comment: It's a bit unusual.

Score 84/100
