Pounder from TJ's for $3ish. Pint glass @home. Opaque, dark brown, russet pour. Tall pour but not much of the sandy tan head. Hot cocoa mix, faint cinnamon & a slight tickle on my nose from the chilis. Very weak coffee. Frothy, milkshake thick. Bittersweet cocoa with a very forward + very lingering cayenne burn, Big Red cinnamon bite & a mildly earthy coffee finish that comes through more as it warms. Calcium, medium high acid & medium low carbonation. Feels a bit stronger than it really is. Half a step too spicy to be sessionable. Kinda good.

3 month old pint can A: Pitch black pour save for low purple hues under light. Crackling 1/4 head that fell pretty fast. S: Light scent of bitter chocolate, cocoa powder and black coffee. T: Bitter, sweet and increasingly hot as coffee and chocolate battle the chili; then a hit of cinnamon to top it off. It all holds together somehow and of course the chili heat lingers. M: Smooth, light and moderately carbonated with lightly ashy finish. O: This pulls off quite a trick, as there's a lot going on. Too much for my tastes. It's impressive but I probably couldn't drink two.

Refrigerated 16 oz. aluminum can poured into a cup. Black with big beige head. Aroma is hot peppers, medium body, well carbonated, and small-bubble lacing. Taste is hot peppers, chocolate, coffee, and spices (cinnamon mostly).

Sample at Foggy Mountain Brew Pub. Brown-black color with a medium tan head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of malt, chocolate and chili pepper. Light to medium body with flavors of roast malt, bakers chocolate and mild pepper. The finish is chocolatey and spicy with a short peppery aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft - Lots of roast and dark chocolate. Jet black with a beige thin head. Roasty with lots of dark chocolate and a bitter finish. Very dry as well.

Location: Draft at World of Beer, Charlotte, 1/19/15, 50th Sweet Stout rating!
Aroma: The nose is lightly sweet, chocolate, cinnamon/nutmeg, and chili pepper.
Appearance: Dark brown color with a small light brown head and medium, streaky lacing.
Flavor: The flavor is lightly sweet, chocolate and roast, mild spice, minimal pepper.
Palate: Medium bodied, creamy and very easy drinking, smooth, and with a soft carbonation.
Overall Impression: I liked this. The pepper is light in the nose and very light in the flavor. I expected more pepper, but I'm okay with it not being there, and the beer is probably better for that. Great mouthfeel. Very good beer.
