Nose: Sweet, fruity and immediate on the nose. Vanilla and orchard fruits. Dry and warm. With time malt, dried fruits and some oaky spiciness.

Taste: Medium to light body. Nice and interesting spice profile - cinnamon, ginger and white pepper to the forefront - but more exotic, unidentifiable spices in the background. Exotic.

Finish: Medium long finish. More of the same. Then darker notes of dried fruits, leather and herbal honey. Green herbs on the finish line.

Comment: Looking forward to the next mythological world from Bivrost!
