Nose: The aroma features caramel nougat bars, with a wood-forward presence, reminiscent of a woodshop. Deep, dark, and rich notes of leather and vanilla, cherry skins, and barrel funk are present, along with hints of milk chocolate and tiramisu.

Palate: The palate explodes with dark cola notes in a bubbly, dark mouthfeel, followed by milk chocolate, molasses, and heavy malt tones. The taste evolves to vanilla bean ice cream, cinnamon, graham cracker, and a slight earthiness, leading to a creamy sip with savory nuances. The finish is long and soft, with vanilla glazed scones, buttery pâte à choux, and elderflower liqueur.
