3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour is deep red with off white almost khaki head. Very sweet nose, mostly dark fruit, some caramel, touch of red wine, maybe a hint of oak. Taste is sweet, some cherry and plum, good bit of oak, some caramel, sweet malt. Medium bodied. A little too sweet for my tastes, not enough from the barrels, still pretty good though.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle courtesy of sebletitje, the 75cl bottle pours with a clear amber body and copper hues supporting a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up a thin ribbon of caramel, prunes, cherries and dates as well as a faint sweet vanilla like note. The taste begins with sweet dark fruity esters like prunes and dates and cherries and then picks up a bit of caramel. Midway and into the finish a light vanilla note is noticed as brown sugar coated juicy ripe plums help take this into the finish along with a mild booziness. Solid stuff. The barrel contact time is solid as it adds to the experience rather than wipes it out like so many other barrel aged brews seem to do.
