Review and Tasting

Sampled before 1st May 2011

Appearance:

Clear, deep mahogany brown amber.

Aroma:

Nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove, with cocoa nibs, chocolate, and roasted coffee beans.

Taste:

Christmas spice (clove and nutmeg) led with raisin, prune and walnut nuttiness. Sweet caramel, maple syrup and honey are balanced by enlivening spice and mild bitter notes.

Aftertaste:

Mildly cinnamon and clove-spiced with caramel and honey-coated walnuts.

Overall:

More assertively spiced than most other nocino we've encountered.
