Sampler

Nose: Lemons, wet stones, peanuts, malty beer, brine, prunes, hints of raisins.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, thickens, mouth coating, smooth.
Tasting: Sweet sour. Lemons, malty beer, wet stones, orange peel, chillies, cream, raisins, hints of yoghurt.
Finish: Medium. Lemons, raisins, wet stones, malty beer.

Comments:

Sweet salty at first, then loses the briney taste and becomes more tart upon sitting for a little while. Retains a chalky, flinty feel throughout, which disappears once water is added (shame!). Pleasant drinking, needs no water despite the high strength.

Verdict:

I like this.
