Boxing Day 2️⃣6️⃣ nightcap. Pitch black and opaque as expected. Subdued carbonation. A cream-yellowish lacing, less than half a finger, and melts soon to nil. Roasted malt, soot and raw licorice root are the first parameters that I find in the scent. A coffeeish aroma enters the podium right thereafter. Roasted malt merges with lactose on the tongue. Furthermore, I can spot licorice, aniseed, coffee and raw cacao powder. As if a wink of vanilla followed in the shadows. The body is full. The end is pretty identical to the actual taste profile but both lactose and the roasted element increase their intensity a bit. The mouthfeel is full, deep, relatively creamy, soft and smooth. It's also faintly roasty and simultaneously lip-glueing.
