Лучше чем я думал. Хоть характер оно и проявляет, но есть приятные и уникальные ноты шоколада и бочки. Сладость небольшая.

Full body, med-light carbo. Med-high sweet and bitter. Lots of chocolate, light deep roast. Med-light peat. A good elegant amount though. At this ABV it feels a bit simple despite having all this, could use more oomph. Good but not G.
