At the very least I would say Abraxas remains as good as previous vintages. Batch variation aside, I love the bitter chocolate aroma and taste as well as that bready aroma. The vanilla isnt over done and thats a big plus. I do wish there was a bit more cinnamon coming through, but if I ask for more than it may be too much, so Im fine with it as is. Definitely tasty enough to warrant a purchase. Abraxas has the standard Mexican chocolate adjuncts ancho chili peppers, cacao nibs, cinnamon and vanilla. Abraxas pours a pitch black with two fingers of khaki head. The head wisps away at a constant clip eventually reducing to nothing. Some oil remains on the glass when you swirl it around, but nothing too extravagant. Usually some brown or red highlights become visible when held to the light Abraxas has none.
