Tasting Notes

Christopher Coates

Taster

Nose: Wet clay, floor maltings, and mashing. In time, caramel and very ripe, fresh pear. Some mandarin and aloe vera. Hot chocolate, too. Whey powder and vanilla cookie.

Palate: Full. Lovely sweet cereal notes, drifting between crusty tiger loaf bread and vanilla sponge. Dried apricot and gingerbread. Milk chocolate and whipped cream.

Finish: Long, on chocolate-coated peanuts.

Comment: Integrated, balanced, and undeniably tasty.

Score: 8

Bethany Whymark

Taster

Nose: Black peppercorns and a little bell pepper. Blossom honey, cornflake cereal, and soya milk. Touches of caramel, vanilla pod, and poached pear.

Palate: Medium. Dried pineapple and mango chunks. Coconut ice. Honey-nut cornflake cereal. Cinnamon and sweet applesauce. Savoury hints of king oyster mushroom and roasted red pepper.

Finish: Medium, on honey-nut cornflakes and a little mango yoghurt.

Comment: Nicely balanced. It gives me slight breakfast vibes.

Score: 8.1
