Had this last night with the DC Crue at Butterfield9.

Here are the spotty TNs I tapped into my pager over the course of the evening.

A great initial nose of cherries (& pits) almond paste & vanilla. A slight peppery taste paired really well with the duck spring rolls. It eventually evolved into first butterscotch, then butterscotchy buttercreme, and then into a creme caramel followed by maple syrup. Plenty of delcious red fruits were there as well. The finish was quite good, too. My WOTN, too.

Worth 93 TJ points.

Now all we have to do is beat up jaimetown the next time he goes to his offsite storage locker and grab the rest of the 6 pack he has of this!
