Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with some spices, vanilla, bourbon, hints of chili, mole and chocolate sauce. Creamy, sweetish and slightly spicy finish. A lot more balanced than the coffee one. Still perhaps not quite as good as the previous batches

Bottle. Black. Massive cinnamon, bourbon, chocolate, light chillies, earthy. Very very thick syrupy sweet lovelyness. Amazing.

Big coconut and cinnamon at first. Some vanilla and oaky barrel notes coming through as it warms. Chocolate roastiness. LCI

2022 750mL bottle thanks to Nathan, shared on 2/17/24. Clear, I think, dark, viscous, no head. Magenta/maroon highlights. Nose is pretty nicely homogenized. No single adjunct jumps out at you and the cinnamon doesn't seem overdone. Dense, chocolatey malts with some dryness interjected by both spicy chili and light barrel. No booze. Surprisingly tame and mellow. In the mouth it fares similar. Surprisingly mellow all around. Some bourbon but not quite as much barrel character as I'd like, or have gotten used to having from so much Side Project. Humble brags aside, it's mellow, flavorful, not boozey or sugary. Well done.

Medium body, boozy, a touch roasty. Loads of cinnamon, chocolate, some bourbon. Some cinnabon feels but could do with less cinnamon. Very nice to check this off the list but a bit underwhelming. Nice.

Loads of cinnamon, spices, vanilla, cocoa, hints of chili and bourbon. Surprisingly thin bodied. Not quite as awesome as I remembered
