The documentation specifies the annotation field and even goes so far as to mention it's use in annotated bibliographies:

annotation field (literal) This field may be useful when implementing a style for annotated bibliographies...

The problem is, I do not know how to invoke the annotated bibliography "style" using biblatex.

Without biblatex it seems you could use \bibliographystyle{annotate}, but trying to use it with biblatex throws "\bibliographystyle invalid".

I want to achieve the same thing as this answer, but with biblatex, ideally leveraging it's annotation field.

What I have in my .bib is:

@misc{kyber,
    author       = {Leon Botros and Matthias J. Kannwischer and Peter Schwabe},
    title        = {Memory-Efficient High-Speed Implementation of Kyber on Cortex-M4},
    howpublished = {Cryptology ePrint Archive, Report 2019/489},
    year         = {2019},
    note         = {\url{https://ia.cr/2019/489}},
    annotation   = {Crystals-Kyber PQC spec (one of the NIST PQC finalists).}
}

  • Use bibstyle=reading. – gusbrs Mar 18 '22 at 00:34
  • Ah, very nice! And led me to the right section in the documentation. Go ahead and put this as an answer. If no one has anything better, I'll accept. – mcp Mar 18 '22 at 03:06
  • Note that biblatex has a dedicated field for URLs called url. So instead of note = {\url{https://ia.cr/2019/489}}, you can say url = {https://ia.cr/2019/489},. – moewe Mar 18 '22 at 04:50

    If you don't want to use style=reading, you can use the method shown in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/442062/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/560417/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/502632/35864, https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/401503/35864. – moewe Mar 18 '22 at 04:53

The standard style offered by bilatex for annotated bibliography is reading, which can be set with bibstyle for the purpose:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[bibstyle=reading]{biblatex}


\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@misc{kyber,
    author       = {Leon Botros and Matthias J. Kannwischer and Peter Schwabe},
    title        = {Memory-Efficient High-Speed Implementation of Kyber on Cortex-M4},
    howpublished = {Cryptology ePrint Archive, Report 2019/489},
    year         = {2019},
    note         = {\url{https://ia.cr/2019/489}},
    annotation   = {Crystals-Kyber PQC spec (one of the NIST PQC finalists).}
}
\end{filecontents}


\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}


\begin{document}


\nocite{*}


\printbibliography


\end{document}
