Worm Tub 12 Batch 1 2023 #277 58,3%, WB: 23216

Interesting series, Wormtubs, hmm old school or low school. Colour and technique are promising.
Nose: Musty, restrained sherry notes, apropos school: team teaching with dates, maple syrup, brown mushrooms, freshly picked, with lots of earth on it. Coconut sits unnoticed, in a corner. Some pupils are already sweating strained.

Mouth: Pancakes with lots of syrup, alas hot spot school, ginger and some white pepper. Next lesson: art. Painting with lots of oil. Very tangy Kalamata olive oil, milk chocolate, chalk and other minerals, a few grains of NaCl from chemistry class and a touch of carmine red powder.
Finish: Hour passes quickly, short finish or entertaining teacher. Some red wine in the cheeks from the evening before, woody flavours on the tongue, strong tea well sweetened. Sticky. A green apple for a short break.

Not bad, but I expected more. There are more batches to come. Do I recognise the Wormtub signature now? Who knows... I'll go and do 
some homework.
