Early steeps were strong tasting, I have been flashing them & i’m up to steep 8 or something and still using around 10 seconds. Buttttt, im not much of a ripe drinker/still in training/wondering how you lot do it.
There was a bite to the early steeps, almost bitter chocolate, but after steep 3 it got mellower, and after steep five I started to enjoy it more. I left the session and came back to it a few hours later and have been enjoying it a lot more. Very thick & heavy liquor. definitely getting some notes I like in the later steeps, but nothing really jumps out and lets me know what it is.
