| Tasting Notes | |
| Robert Karlsson | Malty notes intermingled with oranges. Dryish undertone, turns somewhat sweeter with time. Not bad. Tasty malty sweetness domination. Fruity, well-balanced and easy to like. Hints of smoke in the aftertaste? |
| Krishna Nukala | Sweet and complex,mildly smoky,winy with honeyed notes, some coconut candies, with few drops of water some citrous notes evolve. Very sweet and spicy, extremely smooth and highly drinkable, long spicy finish- question is is it a 90 pointer??In re tasting I liked it a lot. Yes, it compelled me to give a 90. Why not a 90?
