This year's release, Act 9, is described as having aromas of "muddled blackberries, honey-poached figs, chocolate-covered cherries, toasted marshmallow, gentian root, star anise, hoisin sauce, a well-worn leather jacket, and a warm blanket by the fire on a crisp evening." On the palate, notes of "sugar plums, blackberries, spiced bitter orange peel, toffee cookies aside an orange tea, fresh dates, cinnamon strudel, brown sugar glass, and dried thyme leaves", finishing with "aromatic bitters, pink peppercorn, violets, and mint."
