Sample. Black, holographic red-brown lace. Extremely rich broad roast, chocolate, chilli, melted praline, peanuts. Still decadent sweets on the palate, dry chocolate, chili, wood, M&M's, almond cream, cinnamon, Apple brandy retronasal. Crazy shit.
Bottle, from a trade with dzudohonor. Pours black with a dark brown head. Aroma is apple brandy, rum, pineapple, coconut, booze. Body is heavy, strong and super spicy as well as boozy. Strong and intense, pineapple, rum and brandy. Feels like a tryhard. Manages quite well but I'm not quite as convinced as a #4 overall should do.
Bottle, many thanks anstei & dzudohonor! Black color with beige head. Aroma is cinnamon, apple brandy funk, cocoa, vanilla, rum. Taste is hot chocolate, cinnamon, chili. Lots of cinnamon stick in the back, pepperoni aftertaste. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Amazing beer, but I think I like regular Hunahpu better - this is more edgy though. It gets better and better with every sip!

Batch 2. Thanks Virby44 for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing pitch black with very thin translucent brown rims and very sparse latte colored foam. The nose shows strong rum influence with moderately intense fruit forward notes of apple and cinnamon. The palate is oily, slick, and well carbonated. Cinnamon forward spiciness with a strong rum background throughout. Mid-palate warms up with chilies, followed by light notes of baked apple, finished by more apple, cinnamon, and a moderate coffee bitterness to tie it off. Moderate spiciness throughout.
Bottle at Hopishop 2017. Black pour. Aroma of spicey herbal chili, fruity brandy, rum and lots of booze. Taste has cherry, smooth chili heat, apples, red fruit, caramel and a spicey finish. Quite the experience.
Shared at the December THT at deanso’s. 2016 vintage: Pitch black pour with a thin tan head. Tons of cinnamon, vanilla, toasted coconut, cocoa, spices, brandy, light tequila spiciness and chillies. Full body, medium to low carbonation and a bitter-sweet finish. A very complex bouquet of flavours, but does feel a bit rough sometimes. 4.5 2012 vintage: the same taste notes as the 2016 vintage, much better balanced, no chilli burn, no extreme cinnamon, super-smooth texture, more chocolate, the rum barrel is working a bit better, I find. Just perfect!
