375ml bottle, 2020 vintage. Chocolate aroma with notes of chili peppers, roasted malt, toasted malt, licorice and coffee. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has some retention and a thin ring of lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, dark chocolate and licorice flavors as well as having a rich, full body and smooth, but dry mouthfeel. Finishes smooth with toasted malt, coffee and chili pepper flavors with the chili pepper heat lingering on the palate long after each sip. Was expecting the chilies to be subtle after all the time in the cellar, but it still has a nice kick. Quite nice.
