Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: pure black in the pour and in the glass with a quickly dissipating frothy quarter finger's worth of head which barely left any lace
Aroma: spicy yet semi-sweet habanero peppers front and center dipping into some milk chocolatey sweetness and an ever so slight touch of black coffee
Flavor: mostly the habanero peppers and milk chocolate; finishes about the same with a little dryness
Texture: medium bodied; this is a sipper; there might be a little bit of smoothness but there's also "some" "heat" from the peppers. Good carb level
Overall: nicely done as is and I was able to bang a second can of this that night without it being too much.
