Member Ratings and Notes
Adam
 
Nose is like a jar of Planter's peanuts.  Caramel corn in the nose and palate.  There's rough edges a-plenty, but this is darn tasty for the price.  
Chris
 
The overly spirituous nose leaves something to be desired, but I truly enjoy the lingering taste of this brash youngster, just the right amount of wheat and sugar. 
Andy
 

n:  Wheaty and fresh
p:  nah, doesn't do it for me.  Little bit of paint thinner, then disappears fast, thankfully.
C-/D+

 

Retaste 9/27/14

n:  leather and old fruit

p:  Less sweet than expected with a bitter finish.  White bread.  Relatively decent for sipping

C+

Nose: A nose that's heavy on the wood, vanilla, sesame tahini.

 

Palate: More of those sesame notes, honey, vanilla, sweet candy notes

 

Finish: sesame candies

 

Overall: Not bad.

N: Smells a bit youngish initially; a bit thin. Caramel and orange come in, as do a light dusting of spices - some light cinnamon and a touch of clove. After a bit the "young" notes fade off, it settles more into an assortment of spices and has a gentle wood influence. 

 

P: Thick at entry, rich. Sweet but again has a slightly young taste to it initially. A touch of sourness. A little vanilla, some more caramel, maple syrup. Gentle chili-oil type heat. Some corn here and there. 
 
F: Almost has a slightly peanutty note at first. Gentle heat, kind of cinnamony, a little light touch of wood. Some caramel. 
 
The palate doesn't quite come together for me and the peanut lead on the finish reminds me a little too much of Jack Daniel's. The nose is a little bit better than the palate and a lot better than the finish.

Medium gold color. I didn't get a lot on the nose, some delicate sugar and pine trees. The palate is somewhat foresty and has a little complexity to it. The finish isn't bad. 2012 bottling. [1/27/13]
