Bottle from Etre, shared with the family on Sat
Inky black with no head and no carbonation. Earthy fruity aroma and flavor with lots of harsh tannic notes. Moderate booze but not in a characterful way. Mocha bomb was worlds better than this

 

750 mL bottle. Deep black. Smells of oak, whiskey with a little bit of black olive, earthy tones. Tastes of really deep earthy chocolate, more black olive, tingly whiskey with a bit of a brighter fruit flavor. Boozy back end. A touch of roasted malt bitterness. Good, as usual, from De Struise.
