Very dark brown. Coffee and roasted malt on nose, more chocolate than coffee really, not a big fan of this. Rastacouere (5421), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jun 6, 2005 Beautiful looking, absolute dark brown with sticky nitro-like head. Rummy oatmeal nose with plenty of raisins, but the airy malts give a very powdery feeling, floury rather than rich and chocolatey (this is from the nose mind you!). It gets confirmed in mouth where it is even less characterful. Rum soaked alcohol and flour mingle around insufficient roasted malts. Sweet powdery palate, watery texture, average example without much coffee at all.
