Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers. Aroma is full of earl grey tea, floral, subtle herbs and a touch of vanilla. The tea flavour comes through on the taste, slightly bitter with hints of citrus. Really enjoyed this.

330ml bottle @ final beer tasting, Chez Sophie, Aug 24. Pours misty pale brown, not much head remaining. Unsure what pastry this is aiming to be. Strange swirls of caramel latte, vanilla, Chantilly cream, dried apricot, amber malt, demarara sugar, but not quite coming together in a seemless manner, light bodied. Not digging this.
