Small rusty head to rim over jet-black beer. Very shortly smoked nose immediately upon pouring, then sweet roast, vanilla, alcohol, dark green leaves, cacao, Brasil nuts. Sweet, vanilla, cacao, sweet chocolate, again dark green leaves, chocolate sauce. Hint of ketjap manis, cherries. Very chewy, viscous, boozy. Aftertaste has a bitter-spicy flavour, hinting to the cinnamon, and maybe the cedar. Problem being that it acquires astringency this way. Awfully sweet main taste. Again one that has no ideas about proportions and limits.

Bottle thanks to Jules. Pours black with small tan head that lasts. The aroma is intense hazelnut, roast, cocoa, wood, bourbon. Slick body, hazelnut, vanilla, roast, cocoa, nice sweetness, light booze, enjoyed this.
