375 ml bottle, 2024 release
Pours inky black, tan colored head. Rich aroma of boozy dark cocoa, black pepper, and walnut. Similar taste, great depth to the flavor. Smooth feel, full bodied.

Matte black with a thin mocha cap that quickly settles into a messy wisp and crown.
Creamy chocolate and vanilla in the nose. The slightest hint of nut. Tootsie Roll isn’t far off as a descriptor.
More Tootsie Roll chocolate in the taste. Flashes of caramel, vanilla, cola and even apple pie. Alcohol heat, of course. A very, very light nuttiness in the finish — maybe cashew. Something soft and buttery that hardly holds up against the other flavors, but helps round the edges.
Creamy feel with fairly strong carbonation for the style.
Delicious. A great addition to the series. I preferred the two-year HH and the HH/BT, but this one still has a lot of complexity.
