So I’ll admit straight off that I fully didn’t expect this one to work. I mean, there’s so much going on in the name, how could it? I was actually kind of wrong, in the best possible way. This one got the usual SBT treatment (3 minutes in 1/4 litre of boiling water, topped up to 2 litres with cold and into the fridge overnight). The initial flavour is pumpkin pie, with both the spices and a buttery pie crust note present and correct. The mid-sip contributes some chocolate, and it’s odd how well it resembles the chocolate sauce you can buy specifically for ice cream, kind of semi-artificial but wonderfully right when contrasted with cold, sweet ice cream. Vanilla ice cream, specifically, and that’s what I get right at the end of the sip – delicate vanilla notes, which contribute a smooth creaminess and somehow bring everything together. I don’t think I got crepe, but I can forgive that because it’s so spot-on otherwise.
Did I just drink pumpkin pie with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce?
Yes I did.

Nice! Did you really enjoy these kinds of flavours cold, though? To me, pumpkin pie and chocolate sauce especially sound like flavours that would work great hot.
I didn’t expect to, but it actually worked really well. The coldness really made me think “ice cream”, and was a large part of the effect in those terms. You’re right, though – it’d be great hot.
