Please note that the experiences, observations and opinions recorded in my liquid log are purely personal and subjective. I'm no malt machine and just like everybody else I have my own preferences and hang-ups. This log should be cosidered as nothing more than a subjective record of the adventures of just another Malt Maniac.

Each page in the Liquid Log contains 10 log entries.
Most of them are pretty straightforward reports on my tasting sessions, but every 10th entry deals with a 'bigger' topic. The list below gives you a complete overview of all log entries. Select a link to jump directly to a log entry or use 'Ctrl+F' to look for a specific malt.
