Rating: 5 / 10
Nose: Sour note, slightly nutty, sugar.
Palate: Strong, but good wood, touch of sweetness which nicely negates some of the wood, big sip, dates, prunes, cane honey, subtle molasses, black pepper
Rating: 5 / 10 – fine but oddly non descript
Nose: Candied apple, nutmeg, cedar, smells like fall. Warm indian summers right before the cold snap, pumpkin spice.
Palate: Caramel apple, yams, cinnamint, hint of sourness, yet fundamentally sweet and fruity and oaky.
Rating: 6 / 10 – extremely promising, need to try this again in a couple years.
Nose: Anise, barnyard, hay, tangerine, iodine, cedar, incense.
Palate: Buttery, sweet, touch of peat and smoke, lychee, caviar and creme fraiche on a potato chip, muscles with a honey dijon cream, Totino’s pizza rolls, honey on beer bread.
Rating: 7 / 10 – a very well blended and lovely seaside smoke bit
Nose: All the lovely classic px sherry notes
Palate: Eucalyptus with cherry simple syrup. Benefits from a large sip. The long finish on this is nice, the herbal wears off becomes a bit more nutty, coffee, and cacao nibs. Raw almonds.
Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – I personally struggle with eucalyptus, and it’s extra odd mixed with px syrupyness. But if you stick with the ride, this is a solid pour.
Nose: Burnt coffee ice cream, prune juice, dates, raisins. Shaved my body today and smelled my armpits at the end. Under all that sweetness are some rough notes… like my armpit and julie’s fingernail polish. I can’t tell if the palate will be amazing or awful. Kinda scared. Going in.
Palate: I am in a complicated relationship with this palate. I love sour. It reminds me of the funky fermented side of belgians sours. And the industrial side of jamaican rum. All spice, steel cut oats,, horse milk. We all have a little bit of genghis khan in us. We’re talking Injera, sour fermented funky ass … ethiopian pancakes.
Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10 – it is weird and neurotic and I like it. But I can’t imagine anyone else vibing it. So this rating should not carry any weight.
Nose: Classic profile mmm, cinnamon dunnage warehouse, swamp grass and reeds, brackish river water, ocean spray, slightly dirty / funky. Buttery bandaids, sidewalk n ozone.
Palate: Oyster, seaweed salad, cedar box, clove and cinnamon toothpick, broccolini, and peach ring candy. Camphor. Tastes like bandaids with that weird texture of dental mold paste. The ones where they ask for cinnamon or bubblegum but as you are gagging it doesn’t really matter.
Rating: 5 (Ryan) 6 (Shane) / 10
Nose: Pencil, rose hip, fruity, berrylicious.
Palate: Astringent, a bit too woody, red fruit is dominant (pomegranate, cranberries)
Rating: 4 (Ryan) 5 (Shane) / 10
