750 ml waxed bottle. 2025 vintage. 14.1% ABV. Aroma has notes of cinnamon, cocoa, licorice, coffee, chili pepper, wood, plum, butterscotch. Pours used motor oil black with an immediately collapsing tan head. Taste is bittersweet, lightly tart, and faintly spicy with bold, rich flavors of cinnamon and cocoa, and lighter touches of vanilla, chili pepper and coffee. Like drinking syrup towards the end of the bottle. One of those beers that I would have raved about, giving it a near perfect score, ten years ago. Now these types of beers seem like overly rich and sweet booze bombs. I’m needing more subtlety these days as I get older.
