Dry leaf looks dusty and gives off cocoa and potato aromas.

Steeped leaf more reminiscent of laoshan black by verdant tea…really dark cocoa, red berries, broken decomposing autumn leaves.

The liquor has a very distinct barley/beer mash aroma….maybe simply by association, but I also smell yeast. Malt, more cocoa.

Palate is lush and smooth with more malt and high-toned raw cocoa bitterness. A distinct vegetal taste gives this a great tension. earthy as well.

2nd steep was sweeter, the potato aroma changing to bbq sweet potato and more honey aromas coming through.

great stuff
