Nice and simple, the coffee goes well with the rye and the ratio seems spot on. The bitters hide until you find them for the first time and then you can't miss them, subtle orange background. Agree rye is a great spirit for this.

Dark reddish brown, and clear (as you'd expect). Mr. Black and rye, w/ Ango orange. Wow - that's a lot of coffee flavor(!!) The notes of the rye come in later in the taste, but even then the coffee liqueur is the lead. I like this, and I like the Revolver (basically the same, but 4:1 whiskey:coffee liqueur) - I wonder how a 3:1 whiskey:coffee liqueur would work. This is perhaps a bit too much coffee liqueur for me. I put a splash of cream in (double cream using the vernacular of Difford's) - definite White Russian vibes (hmmm - maybe a new variant - a White Russian Refugee?)

Recommend trying with bourbon. Brings a nice roundness that I think compliments the strong coffee flavour (I'm using Mr. Black, couldn't imagine using anything else)

I am not a coffee drinker (do not like the smell). However, I do like the flavour. This was wonderful. The coffee and rye work together perfectly. Did add a tad more rye than the recipe, but it worked great. Nice evening cocktail while watching The Nutcracer Ballet recording from the Royal Ballet.
