"#4273 30.09.2023 This is a really nice DOK actually and I think the price is pretty good. Fresh and fruity with esters and glue notes. The palate is dry and fruity and warms you pretty well. The finish is very long and warm with some dried fruit. Overall OK balance between the flavours. ABV could have been integrated a bit better."
