| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to the Italian in the rake. Alround rating: Roasty malts, dry tannins, fruityness seems to be more tart blackcurrents than red grapes, chocolaty malts come through, its very yeasty again which makes it not very clean but the body is remarkably thin and the alc is really well hidden, dry finish.
