0.5 L bottle. Pours black, with some reddish notes. Some bubbles, but otherwise, a disturbing lack of head. The nose is dark chocolate, cherry, coriander, pecan, mild oak, cloves, and rye. Sweet and sugary, with a heavy, tannic bitterness. Dry-ish, complex, and smooth. Interesting and tasty, but it could be better.
