0.66l bottle. It looks really nice this. Deep black in the glass, not possible to see through - even against the light and it has a good looking medium sized heavy lacing brown top. Dry roasted on the nose with a good candy sweetness, caramel, cocoa powder, chocolate paper and some herbal floral tones that I'm really enjoying. Lots of small things going on in the aroma and together they make quite a elegant odor. It's as expected a bit watery on the mouthfeel and the carbonation level is below average and kinda sticking/prickling on the palate. A really good dry roastiness - almost a little burned bitter with tons of licorice. Quite lovely. It also has that undefined sweetness that I choose to call candy sweetness. It ends with loads of dark cold coffee. This was quite a flavorful little one. Would not mind trying again. 05.08.2013
