Aged in Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels from America for six months and fermented a second time with fresh raspberry and Valrhona cacao nibs. Reminiscent of a rich black forest gâteau, this is the perfect digestif after a nice meal.

Bottle 0.33l, trade with GoufCustom. Huge thanks, Colin! The last memory to our trip to China in 2018... Dark brown to black colored, opaque. AROMA- roasted malts, dark chocolate, nougat, raspberry, touch of wood, hint of smoke? FLAVOR- slightly sweet, lightly bitter, lightly warming, roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, raspberry, touch of alcohol. Medium to fuller bodied. Really good.

Poured from 330mL bottle (2017 vintage - bb 31 Dec 2022). Black with minimal tan head. Chocolate and mild raspberry with a touch of toasted malt and bourbon. Also has just a subtle hint of artificial (think cough syrup) cherry, but more on the aroma than the taste. While the alcohol is noticeable, it's not 10+% noticeable.

Bottled at PBF XII. Black with small beige head. Aroma of tart raspberry and chocolate. Mid sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Rich on chocolate, countered by raspberry tartness. Mild bourbony heat. Intense but not overly sweet.

Bottle from Brewcraft at home. Opaque dark brown slightly dusty pour with thin dissipating tan head. Aroma is strong raspberry, chocolate, vanilla, alcohol burn. Like a boozy Black Forest cake. Impressive if not my favorite flavor. Taste is similar - sharp berry tart, some dark cocoa, alcohol. Not as huge as the chili version? Very sweet from the berries. Vanilla maybe more present as a result (than in the chili one). Interesting but wouldn’t get again except maybe as dessert.

Big thanks! 330 ml. Bottle split by two @ “HKHK” Tasting. The chili version was great but this one doesn’t work. Raspberry is badly integrated, oddly strangely vegetable, other one wasn’t the thickest RIS but it worked but this comes across as thin, flat, vegetable with plastic, herbal. Disappointing. Dark brown, not black, little head. Nose is odd thin plastic & vegetable raspberry jam, herbal mocha & cacao. Taste is odd, flat plastic, vegetable, herbal, herbal mocha, cocoa, oddly alcoholic in the finish. Too bad, expected far more but this didn’t succeed.
