About two years old. Opaque black with dark tan to brown head, dirty and clings to the side of the glass. Oxidized aroma that actually isn’t that bad, with chocolate, cherry, Oidized flavor that comes off as cherry and port with chocolate, roasted malt, very nice. Big and thick body, syrupy. Very tasty, nice oxidation notes, chocolate, this is fantastic. BOLTZ7555 (1053), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Mar 29, 2009 Bottle shared by Sparky27...THANKS ERIC!!! Ebony color doesn’t allow a shred of light to pass through and the 1/4 inch khaki head spotted the inside of the glass. This one has a ton of dark fruit, chocolate, and brown sugar in the nose but also has a barrel quality to it. Are you sure there isn’t any bourbon in there??? Burnt caramel, oak, and noticeable alcohol accompany cocoa and coffee. Oil slick in the mouth...tasty!!!
