AJRimmer Advent Day 15
I smell rose in this! I can taste it a bit too. A fresh rose flavor, not perfume at the first half of the sip. The chocolate notes come in at the end and linger in the finish. There is a tartness to it that I associate with cacao shells. It has high notes and it has lower notes, but I feel like it’s missing mid notes to really tie it all together and make it richer. I like it, but I want more from it. Tried adding cream to it, but that was the wrong move. Maybe a more concentrated steeping next time?
I’m sipping on this while folding laundry and watching the TRY channel on Youtube. It’s reaction videos from a cast of Irish taste testers who mostly test weird booze, shots and snacks from other countries while saying very Irish things. There are some great characters.
