UPDATED: DEC 21, 2021 Bottle. CW online. While watching Rocky II. Pitch black. Super dense ring of tan head. Nose has coconut like tonka bean. Vanilla pod. Fruity port notes. Hint of milky coffee. Fruity dark chocolate. Taste is sweet and rich, with a fruity, tangy bitterness. Smooth and creamy mouthfeel with fine carbonation. Lightly warming. Tangy fruit bitterness to finish. Could have domed a 750 of this as quick as I domed this 375. Love the fruity port twang.
