Wieder einmal ein überragendes Tasting das Artur super organisiert hat. Vielen Dank in die Einführung in die Welt des Arra(c)ks. Die Verschnitte sind schon eine wahre Herausforderung an die Geschmacksnerven. Wirklich überrascht hat mich aber diese BASF Abfüllung. Meinen tiefsten Respekt für die Zeit und Mühe die dort immer wieder reingesteckt wird. Eine wirkliche Ehre immer wieder bei solchen Tastings dabei sein zu dürfen.
Arra(c)k 2.0 tasting by Artur. An unpleasant, extreme nose of chemicals and sugar, strawberry candy and bitterness, wood and ferment, burnt tires. The palate is also very unpleasant, with additional smoky peat and bitterness. The burnt-tire aspect is more pronounced than on the nose. The finish is long, but with the same aroma. I find it very unpleasant, but I'll raise the score one point for its super originality.
Verbranntes Fleisch und Plastik
Dirty, smokey and intensive. Plastic and solvent notes. Wired and interesting stuff.
