Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Midnight Poison
A truly iconic, much-missed masterpiece. Midnight Poison is a dark, enigmatic siren that continues to captivate and frustrate in equal measure, with the community still raging over its discontinuation. It’s a polarizing brew, but those who love it, really love it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Chou Chou
Prepare for a proper gourmand punch. Chou Chou is a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans raving about its edible richness and detractors struggling with the strong chocolate-jasmine combo. Not for the faint of heart, but undeniably delicious for those who get it.
