Nose
An abundance of sweet aromas projecting strawberries & cream, toffee apple, pink marshmallows, coffee, vanilla essence, sultanas, guava, chocolate, and toffee-coated coffee beans. A faint peaty scent and a hint of sourness. With water, mango puree, sweet buttered popcorn, and strawberry mousse become present. [1, 2, 4, 11, 13]
Palate
Thick and mildly creamy, nutty (beer nuts) with cinnamon banana slice, coffee beans, hints of port cigar leaf, and moderately spiced mocha. Ground allspice berries, pink pepper, malty and woody notes. Water accentuates peat smoke. Dark chocolate with toasty spice (cinnamon, nutmeg), fruit-cake touches (raisins, sultanas, toasted almonds), fresh pineapple, and a clean streak. [1, 2, 4, 11]
Finish
Long with spicy caramel popcorn, pepper, and peat. Becomes a little dry with nuttiness when cut with water. Rich, with spice and chocolate lingering. [1, 2, 4, 11, 13]
