750 ml bottle. Aroma is earthy hazelnuts, cocoa nibs, fudge. Not overly sweet. (Which is impressive). The hazelnut is stronger then the banana. However, banana does give mild acidity that helps the overall character. It is nice!

Bottle shared by AFHops, 8/19/23. Dark, beige head instantly to ring. Get the hazelnut which gives a soft, earthy balance to the lightly fruity banana and spicy, bright, graphitey bourbon. I mean yeah, it's a ton of hazelnut but it's so well done. Fruity banana acidity with earthy, nutty hazelnut. Vanilla, spicy bourbon tapering to sticky caramel, peppery bourbon, super fruity, almost tart. Sticky, sweet, vanilla spice and lingering caramel-hazelnut latte.
