Light brown. Aroma sort of explodes with cinnamon and jalape�o...uh... Why? That’s hatch...ok, what do hatch chiles have to do with mole? Ok so harsh chile and cinnamon. Again...what does this have to do with Mexico? This resembles none of the dozens of moles I’ve had in Puebla or Oaxaca. Just throwing stuff in a kettle for no reason.

A deep dark stout with a very thin brown head. In aroma, sweet fruity chocolate malt with cinnamon, chili, coriander, nutty notes, like moléculaire in your nose. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with loads of cinnamon, chili, coffee grind, musty and smooth. On tap at Thirsty Monk.

Keg at Coin-Op Game Room, SD, 12/11/14. Black with a decent tan covering. Nose is bitter roast, big green chilli and pepper tones, spice, coffee grinds, chocolate, sweet and sour. Taste comprises light roast, cocoa rub, green peppers, spice, dark fruit rinds, curry leaf. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent stuff for style, retains the characteristics of a stout so I’d have under that style myself, bollocks to the chilli factor!

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours "black" with a dark tan head. Aroma is very chile. Med body, almost. Flavor is dark malt, chocolate, and chile. Moderately warm chile. The burn is quite light compared to my expectations. It’s a fun drink, and well worth seeking out.

Bottle at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö, Gustav Adolf Torg
Dark brown color with no head. Appreciated aroma of spicy, chili coffee. Dry mouthfeel, well carbonated; basically roasted malt flavor, but the chili and spice combination makes it feel like a winter cake. Not my style but fairly brewed.

(Bottle) Black colour with quickly disappearing, foamy head. Malty, spicy nose with notes of black coffee, cocoa, dark chocolate, chilli, ginger, dark fruit and dark chocolate. Malty, spicy taste with cocoa, black coffee, ashes, liquorice, ginger, chilli and a spicy finish with a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Quite sharp carbonation. Strange beer, behaves and tastes like a soft drink with chilli, ginger and cocoa. Lots of flavours, but quite unbalanced and a bit artificial. Weird, hardly and success, but still quite drinkable.
