750 ml bottle. 2019 vintage. Complete 2019 vertical. The coffee aroma is bolder, soft chocolate. Coffee has survived well. Lasting throughout the sip. The best of the 3 variations in my opinion. Good all the way around.

Bottle pour in bottle share. Appearance is opaque inky black with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, nice viscosity, thin cap of reddish-brown head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong coffee, cinnamon with slightly less vanilla, chiles, cacao but all in good balance. Taste is roasted bittersweet coffee dominant over cinnamon, vanilla, milder chile flavor and spice. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation with mild chile/cinnamon spice, and finish as spice. Overall, the coffee is still strong but the mouthfeel is thinner than other variants. Still good.
