On the nose there is an intensely sour and bitter aroma that is quite challenging and unusual. Grapefruit peel, sour apple, pine sap, hops, warm beer, blue cheese, and a background hint of sweet vanilla and juicy pear that takes a while to find. - To the palate it is strangely hoppy and spicy with a lot of citrus, sour apple, sweet lemon, bitter grapefruit, wood spice, ground pepper, dried green herbs, dark chocolate, vanilla extract, savoury tree bark and the warm dregs of a frothy porter beer. - In the finish it has a sour apple, savory wood spice and herbal note with a lingering bitter grapefruit peel flavour. — Malt Mark: 85 — The longer I sit with this, and with water added, I’m realizing this reminds of Genever, or Barrel-Aged Gin. Very different! Also, I found the cigar actually significantly improved my experience with this one.
