I don’t know a damn thing about Sake. It has to be 25 years ago since I had
Sake.
Appearance: deep rich amber body with a fine little tan head
the disappeared before my eyes.
Aroma: faint but there is a rich malty note and stone
fruit. Nice earthy tone. I do not pick
up any boozy tone on the nose but, when I drink it I do.
Flavors: light sweet grainy malt, rich stone fruit and wood,
with each sip I pick up a little boozy note from the aroma and taste, oak spice
on the finish
Mouthfeel: tangy on the tongue, no to low carbonation,
slight bitterness on the mid and late palate, sharp cheddar like bit on the
finish.
To the Point: an interesting beer, I am not going out to
look for it but I would buy one if I saw it and wanted something
different.
