Member Ratings and Notes

Sku

Nose: Fruit cocktail in the tin can.
Palate: Sweet and malty, vanilla, not huge sherry, ends on an oaky note.
Finish: Very short and malty.

Nice balance.

Chris

N: Rather grassy, mixed fruits and pumpernickel bread?
P: That is quite interesting. Overall its very bready tasting, with perhaps some peat in the background, but hard to tell.
F: Dry and punchy. Clove-like spice. Fades into lighter fruits.
Decidedly weird, but it has a lingering taste that brings you back for more.

Fuji

N: Toasted oats, yeasty, and fruity

P: Malty with oats and green apple peel

F: Buttery

Andy

n: Baloon air
P: Fermented pears and rubber bankd. Interesting, but good.

B/B+

Kevin

N: More sour than sweet for a sherried cask.

P: Underwhelming - not a fan of the sour.

F: Short. A little peaty.

It's bold, but not my thing.
