Member Ratings and Notes

Nose:  Malt, hay, water brings out oolong tea note.

 

Palate:  Sweet and malty with some white wine.

 

Finish:  Syrupy and malty.

 

This one takes water well, bringing out both sweet and funky notes.

N: Sweetness from stewed grape, nectarine, white wine, raisin and vanilla. There are floral qualities as well. Some weirder chalky and metallic notes linger.


P: Crisp on the palate. Fresh cut fruit: grape, white nectarine, kiwi, tangerine and kumquat. Good texture. Dry woodiness and hints of sherry sweetness.

 

F: Green limes and fudge

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect, but in a great way, from a crotch-kicking lowlander. Moderately-sweet with a burst of honey and mixed mild spices, long fade. Holds up sip after sip and takes water well. Really excels at what it does. 
Ries
 

n: floral malt and red jam/cherry nose. Light cinnamon and vanilla and more of the dried red fruits.

 

t: very bright and sweet fruit forward. Green grapes, heavy oak, and fresh cinnamon, quite malty and hot. Hints of citrus.

 

With water it become more sugary sweet (powdered sugar). 

A bit too refined and light for my palatte.

The nose features more dark and robust fruits (than say "fruity" berry styles). With oxygen even some lemon. The palate is sweet and straightforward. Not a lot of notes, but this is a gem. B+/A- [9/26/14]
