Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
deep gold
air Nose
plenty of sulphur and rubber at first sniffs, which wasn’t unusual. Brand new wellies, Pirellis, scuba diving suits… And all that. What’s quite spectacular is that after just one minute, all that vanished without warning, while the expected smoked oranges take the stage. Smoky raisins, ale, tobacco… But there’s also some plasticine, so the rubbery side hasn’t completely vanished, after all. And struck matches are coming back. Mixed feelings so far…
restaurant Palate
well, things improve a bit but it’s still a hard one, with a lot of putty, tar, plasticine, burnt papers… There’s also a lot of salt, and that’s the good side. Smoked salted water, barbecued bacon
timer Finish
rather long, a bit bitter, with a sulphurous aftertaste. Seawater
