Sampled as ' Willet BA mexican cake ' which - if I may believe untappd - is this one. Pours black, small tanned head. Smell is peppers, chocolate, intense. taste is full, sharp, peppers, chocolate. Rather boozy. OK. Not too much barrel.

Bottle. Pours inky black, small brown head, leaves a bubbly ring with hints of lacing. Aroma is rich, loaded with layers of bourbon, mocha, vanilla, cinnamon. Flavor is harsher, boozy, quite sweet. Full body, creamy mouthfeel.

Bottle shared in London - good work, team. Pours black-brown with a foamy, beige head. Excellent depth, lots of creamy chocolate, soft cinnamon and chili, some smooth vanilla and coffee, burnt caramel, bourbon, nips of scorched earth and marshmallows. Full bodied, lightly oily and chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish but still well balanced overall. Delicious.

Level 6 Bottleshare. Thanks to the team. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Quite a light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, good dark chocolate. Coconut. A little tangy dark fruits. More coconut. A little Bourbon spice. Light finish. Nice, light but fully flavoured and worryingly drinkable.
