On tap at Ballast Point (Scripts Ranch Location). Pours with a near black hued body with a small tan head. Aromas are intensely smokey, strong chipotle, earthy, dusty cocoa, bloody mary, earthy spice. Flavors show a moderate peppery heat presence, chipotle, smokey, earthy, nutty, spice, cocoa. Medium bubbles with a fuller body and a mild heat. That said, its not the easiest beer to drink.

Tap at the brewery in Old Grove. Murky brown color, tan head. Aroma of mild chocolate, coffee grounds, pepper. Taste has LOTS of pepper which dominates the beer, could use a bit more malt offset, but the hop profile is nice.
