Member Ratings and Notes

Very sherry, more so than the color suggests. Soft, thin body. Somewhat unremarkable.

Adam

Cinnamon nose. The palate is clove-cinnamon goodness.

Andy

Fruitish. Long smooth finish.

A good, strong, sherry nose. Cherry. Some smoky notes, mild complexity.

D.J.

Lame and too forward, no subtlety or surprises of Flava-Flav.

Mike

Rich sherry but simple.

Chris

N: Deep maple and oranges.
P: Big, full bodied, fruity nectar. F'in good!
F: The palate slowly fades.

Sku

Nose: Very mild wine and alcohol notes yielding to spice.
Palate: Syrupy, mild sherry, with malt, chocolate and grass in the background, a bit hot. Chewy mouthfeel.
Finish: Sherry dominates.

Some flaws but very drinkable.
