375 ml bottle, 2021 vintage

Pours jet black with thick tan colored head. Pretty good head retention. Aroma of dark chocolate, brandy, orange zest, toffee. Similar flavors in the taste, with a touch of oak and earthy spice. Very smooth and well integrated flavors. Thick, full bodied, slick feel.

Matte black with a thin mocha cap. It quickly settles into a wisp and crown. Sloppy lacing.

Dark cocoa and some sweet orange in the nose.

Dry chocolate powder, cola, nut, a little rye-like spiciness and a bit of orange in the aftertaste. Touch of ash in the finish. A bit of alcohol heat.

Slick, moderately creamy feel.

Decent enough, but IMO, not one of the better ones in the series.
