Tasting Notes

Colour

straw

air Nose

very powerful, very grassy, waxy, paraffiny, austere... And different from the 1977. Unsual notes of lemongrass, then fresh walnuts and gentian. Maybe a little soap again but that’s okay - quite some resemblance with the G&M in fact, despite the big differences (is that understandable?) The smoke comes out only after a few minutes, the whole becoming rather wild. A lot of character

restaurant Palate

nervous and soft at the same time at the attack, getting then very malty again, with a slight bitterness (hops). Bitter salad (what we call mesclun). Lentils? ‘Old style bitterness’. Plantain

timer Finish

long, grasy and malty, with even more hops and beer
