Sampled at Hopscotch 2023, pours a clear water colour. Aroma is full of intense black liquorice, root beer, and booze. Flavour is much the same, with tons of black liquorice, anise, etc. It’s alright if you like liquorice I guess.

Small pour, perhaps 375ml at The Greenbrier’s In-Fusion restaurant. Poured a mostly clear color, light off-translucent notes to it. Light rice wine notes, touch of light sweetness - touch of melon. It’s not overly sweet. It has a decent smooth character to it which is nice and easy to drink. Went well with dinner.
