pulled out vanilla and peel at of primary and put them into secondary as well.
Very strong honey aroma and taste. alcohol is almost overpowering but nice and warm

If you used the entire tangerine peel it may be overly bitter. Next time just scrape the outer layer of the peel and use that

just the zest huh. imagine that would be better now that you say it. I think it might of added alot of bitterness but the honey malt basically overpowered it I think. I can taste the orange but it very gentle
