Thick sweet aroma with thick malt aroma. Sweet taste that curls the taste buds. Bready sweetness that hints like it’s going to dip into bourbon flavor, but stops just short. Nice, surprisingly smooth with the strong sweetness.
4 out of 5 stars.

Arcadia Loch Down
Nice malt aroma, not too dark. Taste is a bit sweet, but is followed by a moderate malt taste that is an intermix of clean grain and sweet syrupy stuff. I would prefer it to not be so sweet.
Sweetness fades significantly as it warms slightly. Comes through with a much cleaner grain taste.
4 out of 5 stars.
