Notes:

In my Snifter, 25 days after bottling. Regular version. Very black with a nice tan head that starts creamy, sticks around and looks a bit oily after a minute or two. Notes of milk chocolate, cranberry, molasses, vanilla and smooth, milky coffee strike me. Temperature of 54F. The taste is all of the above, still quite tart up front and coupled with a slight alcohol flavour, smooth and not solventy, very welcome. The mouthfeel is wonderful, thick but also with enough carbonation that it does not feel cloying. Instead, it leaves a rich tart flavour coupled with chocolate and coffee, well balanced bittersweetness. I am extremely pleased with how this is coming along. Although it needs some aging in the cellar to mellow it is a really fine recipe and I am excited for folks to receive it as a gift!
