| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 13, 2006 Pours a thick, deep black with garnet highlights and a creamy, tan head that deflates slowly. I found some floral lily notes in the aroma amidst the strong coffee roasts. Creamy mouthfeel with a flavor that alternates effortlessly between sweet chocolate and bitter coffee. Sweet and fruity yet savory notes after, adding a mouthwatering saltiness to the finish.
P.S. I might have me a "collector’s item" bottle as mine ended up with the back label from AVBC Summer Solstice!
