Aroma is of faint coffee. Mouth feel is medium. Wished it were more full. Taste is slightly sour with ever so slight bitter charcter. Very good ovwrall.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from Tanakaya. Dark brown colour with red hints. Small thin golden head. Aroma is chocolate, bit hoppy, oaty, touch of smoke and spice, nice orangey citrus keeping it feeling quite light. Taste is good too. Initial chocolate, rich, then goes into the orange bitterness and finishes with a long fade of booziness. The orange and the booze together make me think of Cointreau, but this is probably just a lazy comparison. Maybe more like a dark Chocolate Orange. Really nice. Thick as hell, but at the same time can’t really feel the booze. Probably will in about 5 minutes.

Nice roasty aroma. Pours a thick black. Taste was a little sweet on the end. Full bodied and creamy mouthfeel. Good but not great.

Robe brun foncé aux reflets orangés. Pas de mousse, pas d’effervescence. Nez torréfié. Bouche très grasse, presque huileuse, beaucoup d’amertume. Notes cacaotées en finale.
