Review and Tasting

Sampled on 21/01/2013

Appearance:

(26-May-12) Deep brown, almost black with a thin dark beige head and moderate lacing.

Aroma:

Chocolate brownie, liquorice, mocha coffee, profiteroles and tar.

Taste:

Sweet, mocha coffee, caramel, tar, planed wood/pencil shavings and alcohol that belies its strength.

Aftertaste:

Sweet coffee and chocolate malty finish with lingering salty mocha coffee, caramel and oak. Very interesting to sip at but a bottle gets hard going.
