Newly-scythed hay and spiced ale.

 

The Heats of August
When summer opens, I see how fast it matures and fears it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Warm and autumnal! Lots of spiced ale, plus the Lab's hay note,  dry and golden. It does feel like a late-summer-edging-into-autumn moment: sun-heated air, lots of golds and browns, a dark brown ale to sip as the sun goes down. No real sweetness except for the little whisper in the hay, the way grasses can be a little earthy-sweet. There's not a distinct booze note as much as just the scent of malty brown beer and some autumn spices, something like nutmeg or allspice.

 

Good throw, too!

Really lovely!! Very hay-forward on me, it's the same cozy and beautiful hay note that was in A Sheepfold, Moonlight. The spiced ale is just a warm , kinda appley spiced background. On my skin, it's s all about the hay which I'm not mad about.

To me it's fruity (apple-y?) and sweet, with a lot of emphasis on sweet spices.  After a little while I start getting something like... walnut?  I wish I could drink a tea like this.

Lots of soft golden hay with crisp apple and sweet, soft cinnamon (to me it smells like Ceylon cinnamon not cassia).  Warm, cozy, and homey. It's sort of toeing the line between atmospheric and foodie on me.
