My favorite from the HMS family, I had all 3 bottles opened at the same time, this one was first to fall. A lot of (non artificial) sweetness, pleasant and long finish. HMS Princessa is too plain and HMS Formidable is too oaky and tart compared to this one.
Good but lacks character. I'm sure it will appeal to most people, but at this price, I feel it lacks a distinct identity. Very pronounced vanilla and quite sweet on the palate. It has body and roundness, making it very approachable.
Subtle smoke, oaky, with a new barrel oak character rather than bourbon oak. Very smooth, with hints of caramel and molasses. The finish is smooth and fruity. Aged between 7 and 12 years.
Very smooth and mellow. Found at Indigo Beer Bar. Absolutely worth seeking out, even if it's off the usual path 👍
Drank Monarch, which isn't listed.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
