"what a grenade!!🤤⚡💥🤯🇷🇪 incredibly complex. After 1H of breathing, cinnamon pastry, apple pockets and honey banana on the nose. Plus Incredibly mild for 65%, horny sour cherry, pineapple, strawberry and mint, chamomile olive notes and very complex and dangerously drinkable. Musty, fermented and glue-heavy to no end. This thing is definitely the full broadside of Savanna Grande arome as it gets! The lava and Madras are here but I find even a good track geiler!"

"On the nose, in addition to the brute Grand Arôme punch, memories of cinnamon-y apple turnover come to mind. Also, lots of overripe tropical fruit (and strawberries) and glue come in. Exciting! Intense and creamy on the palate. In addition to the overripe fruit, there is also a pleasant honeyed sweetness. Despite the 66.1%, the alcohol is very well integrated. Absolute Savanna top class!"
