Smell- medium strong, dark chocolate, coffee, roast Foam- medium thick, dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee notes, some sweetness and bitterness. Medium large, chocolate milk color, quite dark actually, brown. Appearance- very dark brown, almost black Taste- bit of condensed milk + coffee notes, roast, dark chocolate and sweetness, some weak alcohol notes, but might be my imagination. Some bitterness in aftertaste. Good.
