This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color almost black in color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head. Subtle stringy lace.
The aroma had some Belgian bready/yeasty sweetness. Light Belgian spices. And then some chili peppers. Robust coffee tones and then some milk chocolate.
The flavor tried to blend between all of the previously mentioned aromas, but the chili peppers strike forth in a \"palate wrecker\" format to really slay my tastebuds. Aftertaste is full of the chili peppers, some milk chocolate tried to cool it, but doesn’t make much effort. Finishes spicy.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. ABV feels appropriate. Spiciness seems to hit pretty harsh.
Overall, palate wrecker through and through, would be a great candidate to end a cold Winter’s night with.
