INCREDIBLY AWESOME

Panel's tasting note:  "If you like this sort of thing, then this is the sort of thing you like – smoky bacon crisps, smoked eel, pickled vegetables, whole grain mustard, creamy horseradish and burnt honey glazed parsnips. What a sensation to taste; salty, sweet, smoky, spicy – kelp noodles, burnt  honey and orange glazed ham, sweet sticky spicy spare ribs with red onion salad and candied walnuts. The addition of water changed the nose completely, much more maritime; sea spray, rock pools, driftwood, steamed mussels and sautéed scallops with a Chablis cream sauce whilst the flavours were now sweet soy oyster sauce, salted caramel and key lime pie."

Drinking tip:  "The change when adding water is remarkable"
