Lushly layered

The nose opened with a bulging bowl of traditional British trifle, oozing whipped cream atop a thick-set custard and fruit jelly. The palate was a malty shilling ale, bready with notes of apple and a yeasty winter-spiced ginger biscuit, followed by peach gummies dipped in honey. Water elevated the apple and added passion fruit, blueberry, and a pine and lime cordial to the nose. Superseding the shilling ale, we now found rum punch on the palate, with orange tart, banana, lemongrass and a glass of rosé wine.
