Bottle. Pitch black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is chocolaty, roasted alcohol and mild glue tones and blackcurrant. Flavour is liquorice, blackcurrant and some alcohol, roast and some sweet bourbon tones. Smooth and kind of silky too. Lovely sipper.

Sweet and boozy, Hershey's chocolate sauce and bourbon. That's really it, but very nice anyway.
