Tasting Notes

About:

Appearance:
Slick and clear amber.
Nose:
A boozy aroma morphed from dessert wine and floral roses to an undertone of a beer-like maltiness (which isn’t terribly surprising given the mash). Notes of blackberry and stone fruit are also apparent.
Palate:
A vanilla extract sweetness is nicely balanced by oak and toast, with mild pepper and orange peel notes in the finish. It is smooth and even, with an aftertaste emergence of stewed fruit.
Finish:
