4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 MicroGrog (240) - Slurping on Euro lager in Queens, New York, USA - OCT 9, 2012
Notes from 6/12. 5oz-ish pour from a 750ml tall display bottle @ Sunset Grill.
My near the bottom of the bottle sample seems a bit darker then some of the other reviews indicate. Old age, lighting, oxidation, probably. A very dark brown with hints of deep maroon.
Smells of maple syrup, old wood, & fortified wine.
Taste is awesome. Deeply pungent honey & dark fruit, with a mild herbal bitterness on the finish. Brown sugar. Pleasant oxidation.
Potent. Feels a bit warmer then 13%, but there’s no burn. Saturated & coating(but not quite sticky) texture.
Regal. :)
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 deyholla (4789) - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA - DEC 25, 2011
Bottle thanks to my Mom for Christmas! Pours a deep copper with a hint of gold and no head whatsoever. Aroma has a nice note of smooth honey, but has a good amount of backing booze as well. Flavor starts with a nice sweet honey note with a hint of light fruit but the finish is quite boozy and harsh.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 fiulijn (12179) - Malmö, DENMARK - JUL 17, 2011
Ceramic bottle, bottled 2009-01-22. Measured Final Gravity 1027 These guys at Maciej Jaros surely have very attractive bottles (also expensive...). It pours a beautiful gold-copper color, bright, but with some haze. The aroma is deep, with honey, mild fruits (even some strawberries), iberic fortified wines (from Sherry to white Porto). The flavor is sweeter than the 1027 F.G. would suggest, with honey, some soft caramel, and a fair degree of fruitiness; the alcohol is moderate and works as pleasant complement. The final gets just a bit drier. Fresh and highly drinkable. Very good. As a Trojniak, one of the best.
