Stewed school dinner cabbage and Asian picked cucumber.

More stewed cabbage and Asian pickled cucumber with black tea-like tannins and faint Lapsang Souchong smokiness.

Moderately bitter bitters. More reminiscent of pickled cucumber rather than fresh English cucumber these bitters also have notes of stewed cabbage.
