A modern twist on the classic Connecticut profile, Cryptoborn starts off creamy and refined, with notes of sweet cream, fresh hay, and lightly buttered toast.
As it opens up, delicate layers of vanilla, floral honey, and toasted almond emerge, supported by a soft ribbon of white pepper and baking spices on the retrohale.
The body stays smooth and medium, but the flavor complexity keeps it intriguing all the way through.
