500ml bottle [2025 vintage]. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, brown head. Intense and condensed, slightly BA supported and maple syrup fortified, chocolately and roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, cocoa, chocolate, maple syrup, pancake, vanilla, some caramel, whiffs of toasted coconut. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately and roasty, dark malty, caramel malty and minimally alcoholic, notes of toffee, coffee, dark caramel, some chocolate, treacle, vanilla, maple syrup, some BA support reinforces the caramel, vanilla and alcoholic flavours; slight retirement of the coffee in the finish, a tad more sweetness and warming alcohol in return, well hidden alcohol overall.
Slightly viscous texture, smooth, soft and cloying palate, medium to fine, slightly scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Rich and intense, lots of coffee - very good.
