750 ml bottle shared by Tmoney99- thanks, Tom! 2011 vintage. Pours a deep brown with amber highlights around the edges and an off-white ring for a head. The aroma is led by coffe, with toasted cocoa beans, dark chocolate, earth, and mild fig and other dark fruits. The flavor is absolutely dominated by coffee. Super roasty. Don’t get anything else in the flavor. Light-medium bodied, a little thin, with low carbonation. Imperial in flavor but not body.
