Can pour courtesy of AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is opaque black with no sparkle, thin ring of beige head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is perfect mix of bourbon, vanilla, cocoa, cinnamon and roasted malt. Taste has a nice hit of chili spice right off the bat, followed by cinnamon and second half vanilla, chocolate and milder bourbon and malt. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with smooth, thin texture, chili spice and strong, pleasant alcohol warmth and finish as taste. Overall, excellent strength of aroma and taste, excellent complexity and balance. Good amount of heat/spice. Alcohol hidden well.

12 oz. can. Aroma is cinnamon, roasted malt, soft chilies. The flavor is exactly what you would expect; vanilla, light cinnamon with a roasted malt backbone. The cinnamon in chilies are in the finish but not over done. All the flavors are well integrated. Real nice. Perfect vessel for all the variations.

Can. A- Whisky, booze, cinnamon, chilies, vanilla, apple brandy. A- Black color, black liquid, brown head. T- Apple brandy, heavy cinnamon, vanilla, mild chilies, complex. P- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish. O- Big ass beer for sure. Sat on this can for some time, almost a year and it's still really full of flavor. Bourbon, Brandy, Vanilla, Chilies, Cinnamon, and Chocolate? Sounds like a winning combo to me. All balances well. A bit boozy but doesn't taste cheap. The cinnamon is pretty heavy and the chilies provide more aroma than flavor thankfully. The chocolate and vanilla is more subdued but still lingers in the back. Nicely done. I imagine fresh is a delight too.
