dark black fruit profile. pleasant but lacking in complexity.

very dark fruit, pepper, and some raw meat notes. medium finish develops a little heat.

black pepper dominated palate. med(-) finish is a bit sour.

this was a pleasant surprise for the $14 price. fruity plum notes lead in before a pleasant dark character takes over. medium finish.

black pepper sits on top of -- and adds complexity to -- some dark fruity notes. this was my favorite of the night.

maybe i have the wrong bottling, as i am shocked by the reviews here...

black cherry and other dark fruit. this has a med(+) finish that starts out pleasant but then develops some heat.

sweet syrupy black fruit.

hot and loaded with fruit, as i expect from these. the alcohol was actually less apparent on this than some of the other bottles that were quantitatively much lower, but it was there. slutty red fruit profile. some aftertaste left behind that i didn't consider as part of the already med(+) finish.

better than the last bottle of this i tried, still not worth the price tag. much more restrained than the mollydooker, but still primary in it's fruit. shows some spice that is pleasant on the midpalate.
