Member Ratings and Notes

Tim

N: Caramel and vanilla, maple syrup. Thin and lightly solvent in nature. Medium wood. Slightly piney.

P: Thin-ish. Bitter wood initially, followed by black cherries and a bit of marshmallows. A light orange note, a touch of maple syrup. Gains heat; somewhat dogged by the bitterness throughout.

F: Hot and dry. Bitter wood and a hint of vegetables (celery root; romaine), a fair amount of cherry, some black pepper.

This is a strange mix of bitterness and heat. Doesn't really work for me.

Sku

Nose: Lots of rye spice and some brine

Palate: Richer and more complex than 8, with a lot of spice, pepper, rusted metal, Zinfandel

Finish: Very spicy and peppery.
