     For me, clearly the strongest of the three current Windmill bottlings. As if you put your nose in a bag of butterscotch candies (86 points) and lick with your tongue at liquid, still warm caramel (82 points). Really extraordinary in its uniqueness, how do you get something like that without additives!?very high recognition value.

     Un bonbon industriel au caramel. Vraiment pas mes goûts, il m’écœure au nez et en bouche pas un grand fan.

     Schöne lecker süße Nase, die auch auf dem Gaumen überzeugen kann. Gefällt mir echt gut. Ich bin einfach ein Fan von FRC, die oft etwas veröffentlichen, was sonst keiner macht. Auch wenn nicht jede Abfüllung komplett überzeugt, mag ich die Philosophie.

     Easily the best of this trio. This really gets Foursquare in a wine cask vibes. Not great but significantly better than the rest. I don't mind this at all. But alas, it does not really excite. Plus: foursquare those this better ;)
