| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | First an interesting mix of malty notes (groates, barley), vanilla and dark smoke. This marries nicely with time and becomes a rather excellent variant of smoky toffee. Tastewise ultra-clean smoke. Dry, a bit burned. But really quite simple, yet so amazingly clean and fresh. I do prefer the nose here but the end result is not at all bad. |
