| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 6, 2008 At this point, things were getting crazy, and my notes say "I am a tool" first written by Walt and then written again by Amanda to prove that her handwriting looks nothing like Walt’s. I wrote, in my handwriting then, that they are both tools.
Grainy aroma, very grassy. Dry taste, also grainy pretty spicy like cloves, but rougher. Dry spicy finish with lots of residual grass taste in the back. A nice and pleasant saison. xmarcnolanx (792), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
