Tasting Notes

Nose

Varying shades of light oak have not entirely dimmed the malt. Just a tad spirity but pleasant with minimum complexity.

Palate

Oak, oak and more (spicy) oak.

Finish

Oak.

Comment

This has lost all trace of shape and form. Pretty one-dimensional yet easily drinkable thanks to a singular malty sweetness, especially towards the very end. Don't bother opening.
