500ml bottle. Jet black colour with small to average, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, dark brown head. Intense, mind-blowing, chocolately, dark malty and spicy, herbal-spicy, somehow slightly perfumed aroma with light Bourbon BA support, notes of cinnamon, vanilla, tonka beans, coffee, cocoa, a touch of Bourbon, dark caramel, overtones of mustard seed, chamomile, umami undertones, some nutty aspects, treacle, nougat, herbal liqueur. Taste is roasty, chocolately, dark malty, slightly caramel malty, spicy, notes of cinnamon, tonka beans, vanilla, coffee, dark chocolate, some caramel, dark caramel, hints of mustard seed, chamomile, umami undertones, some treacle, nougat, light BA support; well hidden alcohol. Oily to viscous texture, smooth and soft, slightly cloying palate, fine and soft carbonation. Unbe-f***ing-lievable nose, a tad less intense and complex taste - quite spectacular.
