Drinking up some of my old samples I never got around to. On the nose there’s some camphor, wet rock, and a little wood. Despite brewing up a very dark reddish black, I wouldn’t call it thick or heavy bodied. There’s a bit of a bitterness/astringency there that becomes more pronounced than I’d like when I try to push the shou to get a richer brew out of it. Early steeps are camphor, wood and a little bit of that wet rock/basement, getting more medicinal until only the bitterness remains.

Overall, I found this slightly disappointing, I wanted something creamier than this offered. Probably wouldn’t buy again.
