Oct 22, 2009 rating #1000. its been a long road and there are many people to thank. i would like to thank most of all the D/FW crew for getting me here and all those i have met or traded with. bottle graciously provided by maltomeal. thanks a ton. poured a dark brown with a beige head and some lace. aroma was about as pure as can be with caramel, dark fruits, licorice and a whole bunch of other stuff that i just couldnt place. the flavor was even more complex than the aroma. i could only pick out the caramel, dark fruits, and licorice because there was so much stuff going on. had a wonderfully full body with a slick body that coated the tongue in Awwwww, which is a constant state of refreshment. i just cant describe how good this was.

Oct 20, 2009 Bottle from 5000 in a Hard Liver trade. Second time trying this one. Nutty, lots of brandy aroma, very strong, intense, powerful fruits, and vodka. Sweetish, very thick body, full of barrel/spirits character. Great fruit complexity. No smoke noted. Has a slow burn on the way down. A bit disappointing for me. Can’t even figure out what to say about this one, unfortunately.

Oct 5, 2009 Bottle at MesandSim’s tasting Aug 09. Clear dark brown colour, thin beige head. Some barrel ageing, touch of calvedos. Quite hot from the alcohol. Very boozy. Really just too hot. Good vanilla and some of the dark fruits. Boozy. Bit of decent apple brandy/bourbon but again just not my thing in any way shape or form.
