The nose has vanilla, peat smoke, tar and some TCP. The mouthfeel is thin with a little cling. The body has vanilla, TCP, and peat smoke. The finish is sweet - vanilla and peat smoke.

Water brings out thick whorling that rapidly settles into lingering mottling. The nose gains herbal notes - fennel? - and loses the vanilla. The body gains fennel. The finish gains more smoke and some fennel.

A good end to the evening.

3.5/5
