Member Ratings and Notes
Andy
 

n:  Dull, sort of Knappogueish light peach thing.

 

p:  Light and indistinct.  Too watered down really.  Faint fruits that, while good, is a bit weak.  B-/C+

Tim
 

N: A slightly lemony note; light spice, wood and malt.

 

P: Rich and coating, with some pepper and wood present but not overbearing. Raisins, a bit of plum, some cinnamon and some cake-like notes and malt.

 

F: Nice spice and fruit on the finish - makes me think of autumn. Moderate length; dries somewhat to become slightly bitter.

 

Solid, middle-of-the-road, enjoyable. I'd pour a glass of this for sure.
