I proudly saw my wife pick this one out before I did. She didn't like it at all but that's not the point. Dull, earthy brown pour, sliver of oatmeal lace. Boozy toffee pudding nose, a little varnish, the wife gets soy sauce. Bittersweet cola upfront, not so sticky toffee, then all vinous barrel, adding just enough fruit acidity. Just enough carb to push it along. Everything is on the thinner side. Liked this lots.
