Taster

Nose: Delicate, a bit shy. Gingerbread. Parma violet. Sweet potato. Hay, dry flowers. Water brings out a touch of varnish.

Palate: Fresh and straightforward. A malty touch then seems to rush through to a very spicy end.

Finish: Gingery, dry. Hefty.

Comment: A strange fellow. As if all was delivered in a dash. Then the finish seems to never end.

Score: 7.5
