Review 1: Four Roses Small Batch


Review 1
3/28/12
Four Roses Small Batch Bourbon

This is a small batch of Kentucky's Four Roses brand. The nose is spicy with notes of vanilla and honey, brown sugar, and we even caught some cherry. The cherry becomes prominent in the taste, while vanilla and spicy characters dominate, but the brown sugar sweetness still resides. The finish is short and spicy, which takes away, but a very complex enjoyable bourbon.
Score: 8/10

Review 2: New Holland Full Circle

Review 2

New Holland Full Circle: 4.9% abv

This is a kolsch-style light beer. It has a nose containing apple and citrus notes, with light honey and possibly spices. The taste is light, with very light hops and malt, watery and contains apple notes and gradually unveils subtle lemon as well. The finish is medium in length, being light with bitter hops being the prominent taste.
Score: 6.5/10
