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.

Similar to a Revolver but more coffee forward. Will try with a flamed orange peel next time.
