Red-black with a tan ring as poured, not lasting (possibly wrong shaped glass?) Milk chocolate coffee aroma, developing vanilla, woody bourbon, caramel... Similar taste and after, which doesn't really do it justice - so complex, it cycles through about 20 different profiles, tried to capture an average in my score.
