Impact
Underperformer; all the dials strained, pulling at each other & the axel turning “where do we go now”...
Appearance 4.6 / 5
| Color: | rich red-tint |
| Surface: | slate sheet |
| Temper: | soft shine |
| Snap: | low |
Aroma 6.1 / 10
evasive: date -> dormant closed-off tone (murphy’s oil soap / stripped pine) -> raisin -> rot cheese on the edges & excrement in the rub
Mouthfeel 11.8 / 15
| Texture: | thin body despite high butter content |
| Melt: | clean collapse; clears astringent |
Flavor 39.9 / 50
awkward sour cherry / strawberry chocolate -> bitter column of iron & almond shell -> bizarre admixture of everything preceding... to the end
Quality 14 / 20
Simple, uneventful; merely decent stock could stand deeper roast.
