HOW TO SERVE

Serve chilled or over ice — the body is sufficient for a bit of shake perhaps with your favorite caramel Liqueur.

X-FACTOR

The judges liked the real coffee flavors with complex roasted nut and a hint of marzipan.

TASTING NOTE

Opaque, dark black color with a creamy, stout-like head. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of espresso and vanilla with supporting notes of candied almonds and nutmeg. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a coffee-driven core with flavors akin to vanilla bean and dark chocolate. The finish is long and lingering. Medium-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a velvety texture.
