Logs for this tasting

Great smell, complex, caramel and dark. Tons going on in the flavor, but off from the smell, dominated by a heavy, tart, almost sickly-sweet-to-dry raisin quality in the finish. Not sure it really works - sad!
Strong smell, like a tangy fruit, like opening a container of raisins. Leaves mouth somewhat syrupy and the 11.3% ABV is present as vapor-taste in mouth after a drink.
