The nose is quite musty, reminiscent of freshly baked bagels, a dusty attic, used books, and sawdust, plus a hint of honey. Moving to the palate, which has some pleasant heat, the flavors skew sweeter: Vanilla frosting, burnt marshmallow, and maple syrup all play nicely with subtle campfire smoke. The finish is leathery and has considerable chocolate, with mocha latte, cacao nibs, and flourless chocolate cake taking center stage.
