the side label sports a litany of trivia regarding the number 16, I will not read it. Not now. Design features a shiny mirror-y surface, and lots of pink and blue. Cute.

Utterly black appearance, under a slim ring of brown foam.

Aroma: Wow. Deep stuff. Rich and ridiculously dense and indulgent. plum, raisin, fig, molasses, maple. a bit of vanilla, and then comes brandy. Alcohol burn isn't far away, but it's inticing, indeed. Big stuff.

Taste: All that from the nose jumps on board the palate. Fantastic malt flavors, more richness, more more more. Chocolate, licorice, …vanilla, whisky, lingering citrus tone, a spiced cookie covered in fudge ripples. And then comes the booze, bringing the taste closer to brandy or cognac. Mmmm. Alcohol is showing. But I don't give a darn, it's delicious, if terrifically hot. This is making for a very nice nightcap.
