Member Ratings and Notes
Ries
 
n: malty with oak + dried black cherries. Burnt vanilla bean and toffee. Hint of black peppercorns. Earthy (damp forest).
 
t: malty with an "damp earth" quality. The wood cask really shows well here with dried black cherry, mushroom, and musty oak to enhance the forest flavour aspects. Has some green yuzu (sour) in finish. This is a warming sipper that is really full bodied and delicious.  [B+/A-]
