Sweet and malty (but less sweet than the Perennial), with a kind of wet cereal presence to remind you it's a scotch ale. This was more or less like drinking a beer version of a sticky toffee pudding, with lots of caramel and hints of date. Just awesome. Finish is a little tacky, the only slight negative.
Nice carbonation. Coffee and hazelnuts with a dry finish probably because of the high alcohol content. The honey is very subtle but makes for a nice aftertaste than the dryness/alcohol is gone.
