Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: Owwwwwww. That is very peculiar. Rather like new make, vegetal, butyric. Settles down after you start sipping, gets more clove/sage-like.
P: Big fruity profile, bubble gummy at first, but there's something like tobacco in the background that runs interference.
F: Banana.
This has some really great aspects, but there's a wisp of vomit in the nose that I keep detecting that would likely prevent me from drinking this again. Should probably be a B without that, but I have to go C.

Dave

Malt and more malt - with a malty palate. Apples and pears and malts, oh my….. So much like so many others. Nice but nothing to get excited about....unless you really like malt in your malt.

Andy

n: not much piquing my interest. Maybe old cut grass

P : Musty. Old shoes. Cold spent cigar. To much stankin' for me.
