Nose: Old dried apple rings, bandaids, dried citrus peel, hint of old campfire or roasted coffee
Palate: Bright tangerine-lemon cleaner, rootbeer bottle caps, dandelion tea, endives salad
Rating: 4 (Ryan) 5 (Shane)/ 10 – Tonight I’m enjoying the bitterness, but I could see it being too much.
Nose: Golden raisins, grape must, quite sweet, large wet hay bundles after sitting under a tarp all winter, hazelnut, bark mulch.
Palate: Sulfur… and whatever ryan writes. I’m out. Dry on the finish, just not as much as in batch 2. Marsala, endive, oak.
Rating: Shane (2) Ryan (4) / 10 – well that was a disappointment. I’m sure it’s lovely for those of your who are immune to the devils taint, but mercy me. No thanks.
Nose: Date nuggets, hoisin sauce, cloves. espresso chocolate-coated bean.
Palate: Plums, salt, acidity, umami, toasted figs … wow wow
Rating: 8 / 10 – this is exceptional… it’s so damn close to a 9, if only the finish held a touch more of the syrupiness.
