The barley influence is apparent right from the get go with a nose full of roasted malt, cocoa, straw, fresh baked bread, soft fruits, and a hint of rye spice. The palate follows with a full body, creamy mouthfeel, and notes of cinnamon, toffee, pear, cola, and cracked black pepper. The finish is soft and silky, lingering on dark baking chocolate, roasted malt, and cherries. Bottled unfiltered at 50% abv.
