    Spamming with a few older tastings that I haven't added yet. Pretty good release but I would have loved a higher ABV. Overall balance is OK but expected more from a release this old.

    Schöne Komplexität mit Holz, Gewürzen, grünen Noten. Tolles Agricole-Profil, dem auch die reduzierte Stärke gut zu Gesicht steht. Ansprechender Guadeloupe-Vertreter auf der eher pflanzlichen Seite, man muss das etwas ungewöhnliche Profil mögen, wer etwas für Agricole übrig hat, sollte das Release probiert haben.

    Since I don't like aniseed and this bottling seems to have a lot of it, I can't do anything with it.

    I was curious to check off Montebello, but I’m not sure what to make of it. It feels underpowered and not particularly flavoursome.
