Well-balanced copper-hazed marzen-styled autumnal coaxes candi-sugared toasted almond teaser from honey-dripped barley-roasted center, leaving Graham Cracker imprint to facilitate barren orange-dried fig-date-plum brink, bruised cherry slink, and buttery Chardonnay wink. On tap, biscuit-y oats sweetness ascends.

But sherry, bourbon, and brandy whir seems suspiciously inaudible.
