7.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Bottle. Color: Black, very thin light brown head. Aroma: Coffee, dark roasted malt, booze, hints of red wine. Taste: Dark roasted, almost burnt malt, coffee, notes of dark chocolate, hints of red wine. More boozy and bitter, grape skin and seeds, at the finish. Bitter palate and slightly warming mouthfeel. Over medium body, under average carbonation. The dark roasted/ burnt malt is a bit overhelming, I was hoping for stronger signs of the barrel ageing.
