  • This is absurdly sweet, and it really detracts from what Linkwoods beautiful base malt can do unfortunately.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Sticky and sweet. Cocoa, syrup, maple, molasses. Nutty toffee, fruits, sherry. Tobacco, stewed fruits, some mild funk. This is absolutely cloyingly sweet on the nose.

  • Taste:

    Really sweet. Almost unnaturally so. Sugar, fruits, caramel, cocoa, some mild heat, medium mouthfeel. Maybe some port influence.

  • Finish:

    Short, fruity and sweet. Did I mention it is sweet? Cola, cocoa, leather, toffee, pepper, still really suspiciously sweet.

  • Overall:

    This is absurdly sweet, and it really detracts from what Linkwoods beautiful base malt can do unfortunately.
