"Favorite DOK, best PLV and just a Brett🤙🏼an the nose full broadside glue and nail polish remover, plus pineapple, green apple, mirabelle, some yogurt, grapefruit peel, butter brioche and honey banana...taste then for 60% DOK very smooth, creamy and funky after glue and pineapple, fully ripe mirabelle, honeydew melon and salty brioche butter bun with baked honey banana. very awesome.... then in the finish comes surprisingly dark chocolate and some toffee, plus again the pineapple and mirabelle. absolutely terrific just! 🙏"
"Due to the slight dilution quite accessible and "relaxed" for a DOK. Compared to the TRC DOK more fruit and a bit wilder."
"A bit more juvenile in taste. Nevertheless intense. Noticeable more adstringent that other casks."
"An der Nase die volle Ladung Klebstoff, Nagellackentferner, Lösungsmittel, Marzipan und Ester. Fruchtige Noten halten sich etwas zurück. Am Gaumen ziemlich intensiv und leicht adstringent mit metallischen/medizinischen Beigeschmack, der mir nicht so zusagt. Insgesamt dennoch ein guter DOK mit gut integriertem ABV."
