Black color, no head, just a few sparse bubbles. Aroma of cocoa powder, dusty, with chocolate and light oak. Powerful body, strong chocolate flavor, residual sweetness, evident alcohol punch with Port shades, nice subdued vanilla oak feeling; there is some liquorice too; it has a strong bitterness, with dark chocolate in the end. Powerful but very well balanced, extremely enjoyable.
