Nose
A little spirity at first but floral and fruity aromas emerge, the latter quite sweet (peaches, ripe melon). Quite a bit of malt too and a bit of pepper. With time there's a fair bit of lemon and the malt's still there. Some vanilla too now.
Palate
Melt ed malt hits first and then a wave of sweet fruit (white peaches), turning acidic (lemon) very quickly and then musky as it goes. Wonderful combination of malt and fruit and lovely mouthfeel–thick and mouth-coating. On the second sip the lemon is front and center, but it's sweetened, mixed with simple syrup. On the third sip the lemon transitions to something between tart-sweet mango and papaya. Just a faint soapiness lurking in the back, and once noticed it seems to get more insistent. A little more pepper too.
Finish
Long. The fruit lingers for a long time and there's a bit of a tropical edge now. With more time it gets both sweeter (top note) and more bitter (on the edges) at once. A sharp menthol coolness lingers long into the finish with water.
