Aroma: “Chocolate with a faint java note at first. It’s very restrained overall, then a nice nutty peanut-butter character as it warms and evolves into coffee with vanilla cream.”

Flavor: “Rich chocolate and caramel sweetness. The coffee character is pretty subtle: it adds a bit to the roast character on the finish. Pretty sweet on balance, nice and creamy mouthfeel but a little heavy overall. Pleasant alcoholic warming on the swallow. Very nice fruity flavors.”

Overall: “A bit on the sweet side with heavy chocolate. A touch more coffee could help balance it out. Moderate coffee spiciness throughout the sip with alcohol that balances and combines at the end to create a light bite.”
