Thick & sour

Moist (*shudders*) & decadent dark chocolate cake upfront on sniff & then a nearby slice of British Christmas fruit cake pops up (especially with raisins, brown sugar & candied fruit). Sip has cocoa nibs, prune juice, toasted coconut flakes, coffee malts

Steeped whole lemon, grapefruit, and pear on sniff, alongside a thin layer of honey in brown toast. Sip is light, smooth, floury bread with dabs of more honey, more citrus peel, and peppery dried coriander, and crunchy poppy seeds.

Frohe Ostern! Crunchy nut cornflakes and peppery spice from the pillowy foam on sniff. Sip has vanilla fudge, thick slabs of buttery toffee from a milionaires shortbread, crushed cornflake topping, copper metal, and charred orange peel bitterness. 3.95

Lightly toasted cheap white bread in sniff alongside classic West Coast dank pine. Sip has a good balance of roasty malts, and rasping spiced pine, with bursts of blood orange, dense biscuit with scrapings of orange and grapefruit peel. 3.9

A can of Rubicon guava and Lilt on sniff alongside zingy fresh grapefruit peel. Sip starts on the sweeter, fruity side, then a moderate bitterness develops with assorted citrus peels, spiced pine gloop, dried grass clippings, and stale woody herbs. 3.85

Shavings of black cherry infused dark chocolate, & chunks of walnut whip on sniff. Sip has a pleasant roasted barley & cracked wheat bitterness, a liberal dusting of cocoa powder, toasted walnuts, ending with a twang of pine & old candied orange peel. 3.9

Another good “drop”, geddit? Clean, fruity. Easy. Lovely stuff.

Decadent sniff of very good quality coffee, dense chocolate fudge cake, with blackcurrant, chopped roasted walnuts, & prunes on finish. Sip is thick with cheap ice cream caramel & chocolate sauce, with a trickle of carb releasing fruity coffee notes. 4.15
