650ml bottle [2025 vintage]. Jet black colour with late awakening, almost instantaneously fading, very small, creamy, tan head. Intense and concentrated, BA supported, chocolately, mildly roasty, dark malty as well as mildly spicy and nutty aroma, notes of dark chocolate, dark cocoa, maple syrup, dark caramel, a touch of brown sugar, vanilla, coconut and cinnamon, alcoholic overtones with a very weak, fruity touch of cherry, plum, blackberry. Taste is sweet-ish, chocolately, dark malty, caramel malty, mildly spicy, minimally nutty and alcoholic, notes of dark chocolate cocoa, maple syrup, some vanilla, marzipan, a touch of hazelnut, some explicit coconut in the last third; a minimally warming, alcoholic touch in the finish.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, silky, slightly cloying palate, fine, scattered, soft carbonation.
Rich and intense, harmonious and homogeneous, fine and subtle - wonderful!
