Last night, I stayed up until nearly 4am watching the Concert for George (Harrison). After thirteen years, it’s sometimes still hard to believe he’s gone. So needless to say, I feel a little weird after going to bed and waking up at such strange hours. Caffeine does absolutely nothing for me as a stimulant, however, I still opted for this one first thing.

The first time I bought this over two years ago, that batch was heavy on the cinnamon with bready notes, creating a cinnamon bun-like flavour. This most recent batch I purchased is completely different to me. Still heavier on the cinnamon but I get no breadiness or creaminess. This instead reminds me of a lot of Butiki’s other pumpkin renditions such as Pumpkin Milkshake.

I didn’t add any light cream like I usually do and this time I’m also detecting a burnt sugar note in the scent, but not in the flavour. I am still unable to comment as to whether this accurately reflects crème brûlée since I’ve yet to experience the stuff.
