Tasting Notes

First Tasted at Meeting No. 57 in April 2017
 •  4.5

So complex. Smells like paint can. Pop rocks kind of finish. Delicious.

 •  4.0

A shape shifter to the nose. Coca cola, root beer, herbal, stout. I'm lost in its delisiousnes.

 •  4.0

Smells like toilet bowl cleaner, but not necessarily in a bad way... tastes like an IPA which is VERY dangerous.

 •  4.0

Smells like overripe peaches and drinks like a cask beer. Weird but fun. Definitely a unique spirit.

 •  4.0

There was SUCH a diversity of opinion on this spirit -> I #lovethis! Oink, oink: reminds me of the early scent of a pig roast, as the cracklins begin to boil, combined with sweaty gym shorts. But, down the hatch it goes warming my belly.

 •  3.0

Interesting Tootsie roll and clay nose. Nice dark malty flavor. Dish soap finish. Good experiment.

 •  3.0

Sharpie nose. Like drinking the oil from a fragrance diffuser, but sweeter than I would imagine that the oil would be.

 •  2.5

Nose is sour yerba mate and hops. Flashy splash of sweetness with an herbal soapy finish.

 •  2.5

The sweetness on the bottom of the barrel. Maple syrup on a hospital counter.

 •  2.5

Nose of rotting leaves...

 •  1.5

Smells like Windex. Yeah, I confirmed it - Windex. Tastes a little better than it smells. Hoppy, like a beer. I don't like this one. Muertos is a good description.

 •  1.5

Furniture polish nose like the kind in my basement growing up that had been there since the house was built. Taste is not quite the redemption.
