Roasty, slightly chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, mocha, some dry cocoa, weak woody overtones with a touch of cedarwood. Taste is moderately bitter, roasty, slightly chocolately, dark malty, slightly caramel malty, mildly woody and minimally spicy, notes of dark chocolate, mocha, some dry cocoa, hints of cedarwood, dark caramel; additionally a minimally peppery spicy and minimally alcoholic touch in the finish.

Very nice composition, harmonious, balanced, focussed, excellent mouthfeel into the bargain - great!
