Nightcap and the close of the weekend. A RIS has the honor to do the job. Pitch black. Fully impenetrable. No reflection whatsoever. The carbonation is introverted but manages to push up a bronze, dense moussy head that rises up to three fingers. The foamy crown dwindles gradually to a generous lace ring. Roasted malt, toasted rye bread, tobacco leaf and black coffee give a bit of challenge to my nose. Yet, the cocktail is relatively pleasant. Let me sip. The gustatory universe deviates from the olfactory one: raw cacao powder, dark chocolate, roasted malt, even a tad burned, bitter caramel and a twist of toasted rye bread. The taste offers more desserty flavors than what the fragrance suggests. The body is full. The finish is otherwise close to the actual taste experience but I'm starting to find licorice as an additional element on my tongue. The mouthfeel is full, deep, roasty and lip-glueing. Slow sipper at best.
