This cake is made for experimentation. While I don’t recommend getting the YOT stored cake, I’m really glad LP decided to mess with it. I see beerandbeancurd reviewed this and said “I don’t crave it, but I do find it interesting” and I have to say that sums this up perfectly. The storage that was added to an already strong, wet, and bitter cake adds some more flavors to distract you. It feels like it warms and wakes you up when you drink it. I don’t want to drink this a lot and I never pushed this past a few steeps, but I’m glad I got it and it will spend many years being slowly picked apart.

The rye barrel adds a big spicy note to both the taste and flavor. It also makes the slight sweetness in the tea taste a bit more like cocoa to me. There’s still tons of the dank wet storage and the bitter and astringent flavor from the original cake, but its much more acceptable here. It feels less intense and you can try to focus on the flavors from the rye barrel instead.
