The taste seemed old, almost metallic. I then noticed this bottle expired almost 52 months ago. D’ohh! Always look at the bottle before buying it.

This is an expensive import that really didn’t impress me a whole lot. A bit thin, reserved and too fizzy for the style. Beef up the malt profile a bit and we may have something. Sam Smith’s or Younger’s Oatmeal much better.
