Nose: Raisins, peat, toffee, herbal soup, hints of flatulence. Very pleasant despite the unpleasant descriptor, however.
Mouthfeel: A little oily, smooth, medium body.
Tasting: Sweet salty. Plums, ume, chinese sour plums.
Finish: Toffee, hint of peat, musty, leather, candied winter melon.

Comments:

Very maritime, and slightly Japanese. Evokes the Japanese pickles you get along with a bento box. The nose isn't unpleasant, despite the manure characteristics. Something you could drink in a musty old library while munching on sushi.

Verdict:

I like this.
