Bottle at Jim’s back tasting! Very dark brown with dark beige head. Lots of sweet fudge, honey, milk chocolate, some sweet alcohol which could be cognac but it could also easily be something else, sweet brandy like. Some bitter flowery touches, tea, grass, vanilla, light red berries. Over medium bodied with a bit slick feel.
