| Tasting Notes |
| Robert Karlsson | Big nose. Big smoke, of the sourly kind. First malty, intense. Then some fruits (light oranges? mandarins?), then earthy. A quite difficult and dark style on the nose. Tastewise attractive, fiery, some lightly sourly malty notes, burned grilled citruses and more on those oranges again. A challenging taste too I'd say and not the easiest of PE's out there. But quite enjoyable indeed. |
