Robusto Trinity

[MagicalBikeRide]

Had a couple super robustos (Epi2 and D4) over the past few days, so was curious to see how this stacked up. It’s from a FOH prize sampler and has maybe 30-40 days rest. My first time trying it. Some notes below. 

Overall: 

- most Cuban open I’ve had from a NC 

- great construction (even dropped it once!)

- classic tightish / Cuban draw

- heaps upon heaps of smoke output 

- no harshness / acrid notes 

 

-1-

brown sugar, oats, honey, a complex nuttiness that I can’t precisely describe (pine nuts if forced to pick one, but maybe more like a bowl of mixed nuts you might see at a bar in the US?), hints of cream in the background - but not upfront - the nuttiness was the standout / unique note for me 

mild to medium

-2-

less of the nuttiness, some orange / citrus (made me think about an old fashioned cocktail), white rice, bread (like traditional French baguettes), milk coffee, blackcurrant jam, still same honey note and hints of other fruits (maybe raisins?)

medium at most 

-3-

similar to second third, but I felt the flavours concentrate more around the bread and jam notes - generally intensified and was really enjoyable 

medium plus 

Was it better than my great Epi2 or D4? It wasn’t a million miles off. Am I glad I have a bundle currently resting? Absolutely.

I adore the Robusto Trinity. The MOFOH tasting panel input  was essential to how good it ended up being. 

Pick up a sampler or two tomorrow.

Simultaneously love and hate your posts... always seems an idyllic spot, a few Liffey waters in the backdrop... makes me want to be in Ireland when I can't! 

Grand stuff.

Agreed! I think I am most jealous of @MagicalBikeRide's picture posts. Even more so than people who post tropical beach vistas. I need to get to Ireland one of these days.

Plenty of Guinness to go around should ye ever visit.

I’m lucky to live next door to a pub with decent Guinness and a heated smoking area. Always feels more attractive than my back garden.

Those empty pint glasses make this former drinker drool.  A pint or 6 of those creamy gems would hit the spot right now with the Sig III I’m savoring 🤤

You don’t drink anymore AND you’re a Bears fan?
