Bottle from Healthy Spirits. Pours nearly black with an attractive tan head and a chocolate aroma. There is an intense chocolate and dark molasses flavor with a dry satisfying finish.

330ml bottle, best before 2015. Black as hell with a small, big-bubbled mocha head that doesn’t stay on for long. A little bubbly lace on the edges. Aroma is sublime, lots of sweet malt, toffee, vanilla, slight roast, chocolate, bourbon and a hint of port. I could smell this forever. The taste? Starts off with the sweet malt, backed by an almost raisiny presence, bitter chocolate, sweet, dark fruit, big roaaty finish. Not quite as complex as the nose, but good. On the palate it’s nice and chewy with medium carbonation, slightly sticky and real velvety. Real nice.
