Brown color. Aromas and flavors of melted nestle crunch bar, marshmallow heavy rice krispy treat, butterscotch, and brown sugar oatmeal cookie with a thick, sweet fat body and a compelling, medium-long finish that shows notes of chocolate dipped rice krispy treat, caramel and malted chocolate, and angel food cake. Blend it up with some ice and garnish with chocolate shavings for an adult birthday party; seriously make this happen.
