3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle @ Joes. Pitch black colour with a brown head (very small though). Smells coffee, roasty, dark chocolate, sweet. Tastes roasty, coffee, dark chocolate and the dark chocolate bitterness, ash, peppery (but not too much) and earthy. Full body, nice carbo, but it could be a little bit thicker/silkier. The peppery feel in the back of the throat ruins it for me.
