With water this profile adopted new leather, resinous hardwood, cinder toffee and red ales. Some wildflowers laden with pollen and notes of tinned peaches in syrup. The palate was initially full of creamy coconut, menthol tobacco, flatbreads, hessians and crushed ferns. Dilution added white pepper, aniseed, fennel seed, red liquorice and salted butter.
