The devil emerges in a cloud of sulfurous smoke, seduces your palate with a sweet initial sensation, and then adds salt to your drink unnoticed. An extended peppery finish makes you consider staying in the underworld for a while.

The aroma is reminiscent of wine and butter, while the taste is a delight of smoke, molasses, salted caramel, and chocolate toffee with a pleasant aftertaste. Very well-rounded flavor.
