| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 27, 2008 Updated: Dec 29, 2008Mini cask at home (its the way to go) ... Deep black thin tan head ...soft coffee roast nose ...nice smooth coffee malts ... low bitterness decenyt fruity malts ... decent enough but its just missing a little depth for me 3.5...
Day 2 ... deep black ... smooth rich milk chocolate ... again milk chocolate ... very rich ... great depth ... quite bitter in linger with more chocolate . 3.8...
Day three in the Garvie houshold and the Minicask is now 3/4 done ... while its retained its colour and its nice rich chocolate nose ... the flavour seems have developed a more bitter tone ... nice deep fruit and roast... a tiny amount of burn coffee ... It has definitly gained the depth it was lacking in its first day. 3.7
