Bottle, 75cl. A brown one, almost clear and topped by a dense, dark beige head of moderate size. Quite boozy nose, with vanilla, some wood, toffee, chocolate hints and dried figs. Toffee, dried figs, woody notes, bitterness, vanilla and booze in the flavor. Full-bodied and warming, with a pleasant carbonation level. Quite sweet on the palate. Warming finish with toffee, dried figs, booze, vanilla and some notes of jodine. Quite pleasant this one, but too boozy I think. 131122
