Can at home. Coffee bean color with a brownish foam. Nose: the aroma has some minor flaws, sadly (not young). Mouth: super carbonated, a bit spoiled.

Vanilla and booze on the nose. Thick and roasty, coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate. A bit dry finish, boozy roasty lingering aftertaste. Nice.

Can at home, 22nd May 2020. Pours black and thick. Aroma is sweet, liquorice, dark chocolate, cocoa and coconut. Taste is sweet and a little bitter dark chocolate, cocoa, dark chocolate bounty bar. Very good, perhaps a little on the sweet side for me, but a good one

Can @Luppolo Station (Rome). Nera, densa, impenetrabile, schiuma color cappuccino media. Al naso note di cioccolata, caffé, vaniglia, il cocco si sente poco (per fortuna). In bocca è perfettamente equilibrata, attacco dolce, cioccolatoso, finale caffettoso amaro. Corpo pieno, carbonazione morbida. Molto buona.
