Don't look for any goodie two-step or waltz with this inky-black monster. It's Irish Clod, foot-stompin, teeth-stainin' juice all the way. A few of the rough edges have dissapeared since last visit but this is a brute that will take another 7-10 to become completely civilized. Not unpleasant now just every component is so big it almost takes your taste-buds hostage and sends a ransom note. Originally made only for Toms' enjoyment, this is a Rhone wanna-be that is. Even bigger than the 94 version.This bear can hibernate for another 5. 93(?)/95. WW
