Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Nose: Very nice nose, a corn syrupy sweetness with dried fruit, followed by just a touch of spice (rye?)
Palate: Gentle spice (again, tastes like rye), picks up sweetness as it goes down. Nicely balanced.
Finish: Fruity and spicy.

I was floored that this was a wheater. I detected a fair amoung of rye-like spiciness. Interesting and well balanced.

N: Slightly sharp, soft grains. Slightly sweet. Light hints of marshmallow. Slightly tannic.

P: Medium thick, sweet but not overly so. Heavy maple syrup, light toffee. Faint cherries in the background. Some gentle grains.

F: Black tea, apples, gentle grains and light wood. A mild red wine quantity as the finish holds.

Unremarkable. Easy drining and gentle but nothing special.
