| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Obvious smokiness. Of the drier, a bit tougher kind. Also quite a bit of malty sweetness and light vanilla. With time some berries arrive too. Raspberries? Tastewise in balance. A nice lively kind of half-harsh "white" smokiness alongside a nice berried vanilla. Long aftertaste, lively, coastal, fresh and so drinkable. |
