Witch's Brew
Sleepily, my weary gaze creeps out from a dimly lit black corner of a shabby cedar wood hut, where I lie in dancing shadows, towards the green glow, the glowing crucible, the smoldering mists, the softly wafting figure in the robe and the gnarled, bony features.
'Birch tar and herbal brew - In this concoction lies witch's spawn'
She speaks without moving her lips as she sprinkles various herbs into the bubbling percolate, allowing veils of different colors to softly shimmer, sometimes menthol-bright, sometimes greenish bitter, sometimes olive-sweet-earthy, the sparks flickering before her face, from whose wrinkled leathery skin black beads of sweat from birch tar continuously seep into the brew.
'Patchouli and pure benzoin - So shall you be favorably inclined towards me'
Interwoven with greenish glowing herbal blood in black pulsating birch tar veins, amber-colored benzoin bubbles, medicinally resinous, sweet leathery scented into the old earth of the wooden barrack. Was there a forest somewhere, a world outside the oil-shaped witch's hut on my skin? I close my eyes contentedly for a few quiet hours, perhaps a little enchanted.

A scent from the American craft brewing scene, which I generally find likable but know better ones: woody, resinous, green, patchouli.

Woody wormwood brew. It makes me feel oddly good. The medicine man must have done his job well.

Indescribably healthy-smelling mix of green and resinous-woody notes with the charm of a rheumatism ointment. I can't take it seriously.

The doctor mixes a sharp herbal brew in a wooden tub while smoking moss and tobacco pipes to relax.

Actually a witch doctor! Very bitter and woody, burnt, wet branches, spicy herbs, and earth. Light sweet vanilla. Great forest scent.

Breathe in the cool forest. Herbal leafy green, damp stone & old wood. Menthol-like, resinous-ambered, gently laced with birch tar.
