Bottled 2/15/16, drunk 7/23/16.
Dark, chestnut-mahogany brown body show low clarity and a small, light tan head with no retention.
Very straightforward dark chocolate, fudge and light roast in the nose is balanced lightly by a roasty coffee showing a bit of age. Crunchy, earthy and grainy, with lots of spice and light phenol. No booze though, fortunately and no flaw, really.
Softer, sweeter and with light coffee suggestions. Light bodied and not particularly vinous or acidic. Yet it’s not thick and syrupy so theres no real need for it. Chocolate, graham cracker and such with stale coffee with light alcohol and a loose palate.
