UPDATED: DEC 16, 2018 15-12-18 // bottle shared with Hopfenjünger. Pitch black. Minimal dark brwon head. Two layer nose. First wood and barrel, mild bourbon. Then dark hazelnut chocolate. Lovely aromas. Lots of chili still present. Loads of bourbon notes still present. Maybe not as soft, not much vanilla as when fresher but definitely bourbon. Boozy, mild biting alcohol notes but well embedded. Long lsting finish. Chili stays. This is still fantastic considering the age.

UPDATED: DEC 7, 2018 Bardzo fajny aromat mlecznej czekolady, kakao, wanilii, szczypta kokosu, cynamon, gdzieś daleko w tle habanero, pięknie wypośrodkowane. Smak: identyczne zarzuty ja do chocolate bourbon - wszystko gdzieś pospierdalało, w smaku tylko bourbon i papryczki, pozniej troszkę cynamonu, dość mocno grzeje, wydaje się cienkie. Oj 2015 roczniki bardzo źle się postarzały, no ale ostrzegają na butelce 'do not age or cellar!'. Rada moja taka - pić Mexican Cake'i świeże i nie trzymać!

At Pre-Borefts tasting. Black inky pour. Incredible aroma of thick bourbon vanilla, caramel fudge, milk chocolate and mocha. Flavor is thick and rich, with lots of bourbon vanilla, caramel fudge, mild spices, milk chocolate, soft green pepper, caramelised malt and a long bourbony finish with a soft balanced chili afterburn. Extreme flavors, all in smooth balance, this is close to perfection.

Bottle, rating #5555. Black color with a tiny beige ring. Aroma is cinnamon, cocoa, molten chocolate, vanilla. Taste is cinnamom, cocoa, vanilla, spicy finish with nice balance. Low to medium carbonation, silky mouthfeel with a comparably light body. Everything is incorporated in a perfect way, and it stays drinkable. Incredible beer. This might be the perfect Imperial Stout, it's a bit less intense in the body and sweetness than the Dark Lord de Muerte which I've had recently. And I love the Cinnamon & Chili flavours in general.

Bottle @ Pre-Borefts tasting. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized yet quickly diminishing brown colored head. Aroma is malts, heavy (too heavy imo) vanilla up front, some bourbon. Taste malts, bourbon, but again way too much vanilla imo, peppers, light pepper burn. Hmm not my kind of beer I guess.

Sampled from bottle at pre-borefts tasting. Black with light tan head. Big deep roasted chocolate malts, coconut, roasted peppers, bourbon, vanilla. Extremely soft feel. Lovely. Moderate sweet and bitter, quite spicyyyy. Full supple body. Amazing stuff. Shit is on fiiiire!

Shared at pre-Borefts tasting, thanks for sharing everybody! Rating 6000 thanks to fonefan! Black with small light brown head. Cinnamon, sweet chillies, very nice bourbon, chocolate, fudge, some coffee, sweet molasses. Mexican candy. Quite sweet and under medium bitter. Almost full bodied with soft chili burn finish. Fucking great!
