Online tasting notes for reference

Nose:
Estery and somewhat funky gingerbread man. Banana on fire. Vanilla on fire. Freshly turned black soil.

Taste:
Big, massive, huge! Yet so delicate, soft, fluffy and caramely yummy. Sweetness, and more sweetness. Yet not sickeningly so, this is juuust right.

Finish:
Long finish. Still sweet. More banana and other assorted tropical fruits. Caramel. Light and mildly funky.
