3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 75cl ceramic. Vintage 2009 it seems. 12% ABV. It pours an almost clear orange-golden body and no head. Quite oily. The aroma has some fruityness, and lots of malty sugar and some peaches and other tropical fruits. There’s some warmth on the palate, it’s full-bodied and a bit sticky, but far from cloying. The flavor has lots of malts, some sugar and a little touch of peaches, finishing more or less in the same way. A nice one, but it lacks on complexity and it could use some more bitterness.. 121110
