The lovely Nicole sent this to me and I figured having both Hugo blacks in the house was a good excuse for a sipdown and a comparison :)
I prefer this version to the mornings journey, if only because this has more oomph. I only steeped it for 3 mins because I didn’t bother to look anything up. Haha. This is malty and robust…it’s not bitter, it’s not astringent. There’s a flavour hidden in the brew that makes it different from your average every day malty cup. It’s somewhere between sweet and sour and makes my mouth tingle haha. Thanks so much for sharing Nicole!

Woot! Glad they got there and you enjoyed this one. :)
I need to get some of this to sample, especially while I still have a little of the Organic Morning’s Journey to compare it to, just for fun.
Terri – they’re both delicious in my opinion…i like this one a little more, but if they were both around still, there would be room for both in my cupboard because they’re different
That’s good enought for me!
Good to hear you like it. I’ve had my eye on it since Hugo told me that this one was a good replacement for Morning Journey.
Group Hugo order?
Cavo – they are two different beasts…
Or you can have me pick them up for you gals at the store. Don’t know how much Hugo charges from their site but shipping is probably about $8 US for me to send them (and I’ll send them in exchange for swaps…) :P
Er.. I can pick up Full Steam since Morning’s Journey is discontinued. And any others you want to try. :)
haha ok i’ll keep that in mind nicole :)
