Bottle, 0.33l. Black pour, one finger creamy brown head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Roasted malt and dark fruits on the nose. Bready, notes of coffee and cocoa. Full body, lively carbonation. Soft and smooth mouthfeel and texture, oily, chewy and thick. Quite nice. Roasty bittersweet taste. Aroma of roasted malt, caramel, dried dark fruits. Cocoa, coffee, licorice. Hints of vanilla. Some wood notes, charred. Moderate to strong alcohol, dry and warming. Long lasting finish, boozy. Overall, quite decent RIS. However, it's totally overpriced. Not quite up there with the best of them and to be perfectly honest, local market-wise - Hyperbola form LD is better for almost half the price. Still, pretty good.
