Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is liquorice, alcohol and some chocolate and mild toffee tones with a bunch of alcohol. Flavour is liquorice, dried fruits, plum, alcohol, overly sweet and some mild soy sauce like elements.

Very sweet, like a cherry cordial with a bit of soy sauce and anise in the mix, backed by a cherry liqueur finish heavy on the booze. Vinous elements peek through in the fade, as does a minor bit of oak. Lots of chocolate, lots of cherry, as it should have, but the sweetness becomes overpowering.

Pours black, small tanned head. Smell is coffee, roasty, full, intense. Taste is full, sweet, intense, coffee, sharp, tad boozy. Cherries, making it a tad too sharp

Bottle. Pours black with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is strong cocoa, licorice, oak, grape. Slick body, boozy, cough syrup, weird sweetness.
