From a 500ml bottle, undated. Released 03/07/24. Served in a spiegelau ba tasting glass.
Pours thick and viscous and blacker than motor oil with a meager little skiff of chocolatey bubbles. Minimal head formation and a barely rousable sheet of slippery, oily lacing.
Nose is dense and boozy; straight up aroma of chocolate liquor.
Taste is cloyingly sweet and weirdly floral. Tasting baker’s chocolate, malt syrup spiked with cinnamon powder and something flowery like crushed carnations. No coffee evident. Tacky, sugary-sweet finish.
Feels like it looks: thick and viscous, dense as fuck with effectively no carbonation.
Suitable for pouring over French toast, perhaps. The label notes coffee as an add-junk and some coffee bitterness and acidity might have gone a ways toward ameliorating what was otherwise thick, sugary, syrupy and lifeless.
