Front-loaded, clumsy and forced. Bunna's good enough on its own.

Tasting Notes

Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: Distinctly odd. A child's coat pocket; strawberry chewits and melted toffee. Hugely sweet, butterscotch.

Palate: A tight start, but a flabby centre. Stewed red fruit and caramel. Strangely dilute.

Finish: Disappears in a haze of saccharine sweetness.

Comment: Front-loaded, clumsy and forced. Bunna's good enough on its own.

Score: 6.8

Arthur Motley

Taster

Nose: Fudgy, raisiny sweetness, green apples and fresh cut parsnips. An antiseptic, floor polish.

Palate: A good, oily and unchillfiltered texture, with jam, fruit and nut toffee, a little creosote and some orange.

Finish: Some sweet medical character, like Savlon.

Comment: Rather subdued on the nose, but a lovely, texture malt to drink.

Score: 7.8
