Saturday, April 25, 2020 - Checked in on this again since there had been a discussion on the board about heavy dill pickle flavor. Though we got the dill notes, it was just part of the whole picture with plenty of blackberry and typical coconut oak, which was also not overdone. It's drinking really well now. Probably some upside, but I don't think it needs it so much.
