Malt
Caramel
Subtle peppery undertone
Juniper
Crisp pine
Grapefruit aroma
Chocolate
Mellow hops
Rich toffee notes
Freshly baked biscuits
Clean desert aroma
Citrus weed
Tangy cactus spine
Horse blanket
Slight nuttiness
Hints of bourbon
Smoked rubber
Magnesium flare
Coconut oil
Disintegrated cork
Essence of latex and sand
Porcelain overtones
Back alley rainwater
Wisps of mousetrap wood
Gunpowder residue
WD-40
Battery copper
Flop sweat
Gumballs
Revenge
Rocket fuel
Interplanetary dust
Venusian methane
Tears of loneliness
