Dying Embers III

The song “Cold Old Fire” by Dublin folk band Lankum, inspired this dark concoction. It's meant to evoke grey days in Dublin and memories of good times and bad spent by a fire, whose flame, like a glass of tasty, strong beer, inevitably will disappear. We sought out flavors to mimic the atmosphere of sitting around the “dying embers of a cold, old fire.” Jasmine Pearl’s Lapsang Souchong adds aromas and flavors of pine smoke, while organic jalapeno peppers provide the slight heat. Peppermint leaves represent the last note on the palette, signifying the chill that sneaks up like a thief around such a scene. Stout and black tea -- well, in terms of Dublin, they speak for themselves, don’t they?
