500ml bottle [2025 vintage, 13.5% abv]. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small, creamy, diminishing, brown head. Roasty, chocolately, dark malty and spicy aroma, notes of coffee and maple syrup, some vanilla, dark chocolate, boozy overtones. Taste is sweet-ish and roasty, chocolately, dark malty, slightly spicy and alcoholic, notes of coffee, maple syrup, some dark chocolate and vanilla; lingering coffee finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, medium, scattered, mildly prickly carbonation.
Very nice coffee flavours, quite intense, sadly a tad heterogeneous - pretty decent.
