Tar black with no head at all. Bonus marks for looking imposing af, though.

A little more viscous than the J. Wakefield BA Crucio I had before it, brown sugar cinnamon hits first while toasted coconut thickens the middle palate and banana adds a light botanical accent in the finish.

Though I wish the banana had a bigger presence, it's got a solid overall Viet rice pudding character, but maybe even more so does it resemble a rich cinnamon latte.

Out of the bottle, about six months later, a shit ton of coconut lipids float around as burnt brown globules on the viscous surface. It's definitely still thick as all fuck, but a little more roast is perceptible within the dampened brown sugar-cinnamon qualities, while caramelized banana then comes out in the swallow.

However, all that barrelling is no where to be found, sadly enough. Still, it's excellent an hour or two after dinner, as long as you've skipped dessert until then.
