Tasting notes
Golden barley, with oils that gently touch the glass.
Pears, milk chocolate, malt, rhubarb and custard – but with more custard than rhubarb.
Green apple coated in caramel, cloves, custard – a spicy tingle, with licorice and mint chocolate.
A gentle heat lingers in the mouth and as it slowly fades, a little oiliness is left with a hint of spicy chocolate.
