--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Viscous black, no head. Aroma of chocolate cake with vanilla and freshly cut bell pepper. Very sweet with full body and rounded, viscous mouthfeel. Chocolate cake and vanilla, mild cinnamon. Long chili heat. Very cakey, otherwise decent. By far the best Angry Chair I've had.

Brum gathering, Tilt Tasting; 2nd July 2022. 750ml bottle from SHIG, cheers my friend. Tanned head on a black body. Lots going on in both the nose and taste, chocolate and vanilla with a mini heat wave in the finish; interesting, would have liked a larger sample to really get into it.
