The first sniff is all sweet honeycomb with subsequent samplings revealing a hint of fresh herbs. Almost tastes like a cask strength bottling - very robust. Sweet honey, freshly cut herbs, just a hint of spice. The finish is long, sweet and dry.
Very refreshing, with loads of character.
In my opinion, some malts keep you interested by being complex - each time they reveal some slightly different element. Other malts are simple one-trick ponies. This is the latter, but when you master the simple this well, who needs complexity.

Just thought I would mention that it was the flora and fauna bottling, not the bottling shown.
Simply awesome, and a little sad. I feel like I am drinking a little piece of history.
