Can. Black color with tiny beige head. Aroma is cinnamon, good cinnamon and hot chocolate mix. Taste is deep chocolate, cinnamon, mild chili heat, it's all so well-integrated. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Very, very solid Mexican Imperial Stout, especially regarding this comparably low ABV.

Can. Dark with some brown. Smell is soft chocolate fudge and praline. Taste is sloooow, creamy milk shake chocolate brownie, chocolate cake, cinnamon. Underneath, and holding everything together, a nice warmth - the chili. Love it. Beautifully balanced. Bit too sweet, could use a slight edge.

Can courtesy of Marko, tasted with the München Ratebeer Group Christmas Tasting Friday 2nd December 2022. Aroma is wonderful, but not picking up the chilli though it adds a lovely touch in the mouth, warming, lovely chocolate, rich, smooth, great mouthfeel, this is fantastic.

Can at the Christmas tasting. Dark dark brown, little head. Slightly spicy cacao nose with a good dose of sugariness. Very nice cinnamon notes on the tongue, super smooth with a tiny hint of chili, really nice amount of spiciness without being overwhelming. Great dark roast notes that balance it very well.
