Bottle. It is almost black in colour. Poured into a snifter. Milky brown head. Aroma of leather, cream, ground coffee beans, mild leafy hops and raisin. Full bodied and very smooth. At first the flavour is filled with fruit, especially plum, raisin and dark cherries. It’s slightly chalky. The flavour becomes quite dry with only mild hints at coffee and dark chocolate before milk, smoke and then finally grape juice with skins in a long finish.

Bottle from trade with PaulHegedus - thanks! Sticker says 9.2% ABV. Motor-oil black with a nice brown head. Aroma of coffee and brown sugar. Coffee, cocoa, sugar, and a little caramel and vanilla start off the flavour. This leads into some slight spice and licorice, with some bready malt, and finally to a slightly bitter finish with warming alcohol, with more sugar too. Very good!

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle courtesy of a trade with Dany. Pours a deep thick black with a dense dark tan head. A ton of coffee on the nose initially, roast, with a subtle sweetness that starts to peek through. Soft old caramel and vanilla, toffee and a lot of roast. Medium to thick bodied, starts off slowly, smooth and chocolaty, lots of roast, soft chocolate candies, cocoa and warm roast. Chewy chocolate brownies, a touch of coffee. Long chocolate and coffee rich finish, never overpowering, but very full flavored and thick. Absolutely lovely.
