Maybe it would benefit to have some port or vermouth added. Overall I think it's a very interesting cocktail. Definitely benefits from a good stir. The main downside to it is that the chocolate bitters are a bit distracting and that it's a bit dry in what it's going for.

The drink has an amazing nose, but the chocolate bitters ruins the flavor profile for me. Would definitely make it again, minus the bitters.
