26/10/2019. Bottle from La Cave a Bulles, Paris. 9.0% abv. Pours close to black with a small tan coloured head. Aroma of dark chocolate, roasted malt, dried fruit, liquorice, fruit cake, cocoa and light spicy notes. Medium sweetness and moderate roasted bitterness. Full body and slick texture. Carbonation was quite fizzy which did detract from overall enjoyment but that aside this was pretty darn good.
