#8 Roasted Metheglyn

Racked off medium toast oak and vanilla bean and onto Hungarian heavy toast. Color is a beautiful red-brown. Aroma is warm, roasty goodness and alcohol. Alcohol burn is heavy in the taste, but mellower than last time I sampled. There is a hint of the honey, a touch of vanilla, and then the warm chicory/carob/root-y goodness. The oak gave it a nifty tang, I think. The aftertaste is honey and warmth.
