Aroma of roasted malt, some chocolate, coffee, smokey chipotle. Flavour is medium sweet with a light coffee bitter finish. A little peppery heat on the tongue. Body is fairly medium. A bit on the subtle side, but smooth and very enjoayble.

Huge, thick beige head over virtually black beer. Chocolate, bit of coffee. Voluminous head hampers the perception. Bit earthy, also paint, autumn leaf, toffee. Chocolate, mocha, coffee, spicy. Chilliheat arrives nearly as an afterthought, but keeps hanging after a while. Faintly smoked, capsicum. Seems well-bodied for a relatively light stout. Very well-carbonated. Not bad, drinkable despite the chilli.

65 cl bottle @ ISKTR ’16
Aroma is musty with metallic tones. Flavour has licorice, saltiness, some peaty(!) notes and coffee. Nice. A bit foamy palate. The chili here is moderate though.

650ml bottle @ ISKTR. Pours pitch black with a smooth head. Aroma of roasty malts, coffee, chocolate, chipotle, hints of cocoa. Taste is sweetish, carbonated and earthy with some roastiness, cocoa, coffee and chocolate. Finish is heavily carbonated, slightly earthy and spicy with hints of chipotle, coffee and chocolate. A bit too heavily carbonated.

Bottle shared thanks to RandomStrangerNL. Dark brown with a short lived tan head. Aroma of coffee, light smoke, fruity chilli notes, dark chocolate, malt and caramel. Flavour is above moderate sweet and light moderate bitter. Medium bodied with a disturbing high carbonation and developing chilli warmth.

Bottle from Nie. Chipotle Coffee Stout 6.7% sweet red berry and pepper with soft coffee in the aroma. Medium to light bodied. The taste is very berry - probably oxidized, some chocolate, a bit of heat that is cumulative and some coffee in the finish. I liked it well enough.
