Comments
First RIS I have ever disliked
Poured out a dark brown with a film-like head. Smells like burned coffee, burned chocolate, and alcohol. Taste is similar with a bit of bourbon and licorice thrown in. Feels inconsistent and syrupy on the tongue. Don't know if I just had a bad bottle, but I found it quite overbearing and didn't finish the glass.
