Served in a small snifter. Inky black with mahoghany edges. Thin collar of tan lace around the edge.
Surface retention lasts for awhile.
Plummy fruit aroma, whiskey, vanilla, port, mellow wood comes out at room temp.
Currants, raisin, bracing booze at first though not overpowering. Rich and potent, enjoyable in small doses.
The best part was the initial fruitiness in the smell and taste. Better than BA Malevolence, a little more complexity on display here.
