nikbuys 4.5

Nose: super fruity and initially funky. The funk goes away a tinge as you sit with it. A bit of wood polish. Some malt dank/funk. Sourdough comes out here for sure! A bit of brown sugar. Palate: definitely getting strong barrel notes here, wood tanins come in to balance the sweetness from the mash. Some date, raisin. Has a mellow malt chewiness. Caramel. Slight nuttiness. A hint of green apple? Finish: drying with a tinge of brown sugar sweetness. Warming.

nikbuys 4.0

Nose: fruity and estery yeast, stewed dark fruits, sourdough bread. Caramel, brown sugar. Palate: slight heat, vanilla, caramel, a bit funky, with a nice caramel apple fruit note. Finish: light heat, gently fruity.
