Bottle at Kaeru. Brown coloured with a chilli floating in it! Aroma is totally chilli dominated, but not spiciness wise, just the smell of the plant. Taste is great, pretty much chilli, and hard to find anything else but very fresh and real chilli taste. I really like it, but it's probably not right. Finish is a subtle burn.

Bottle at Kaeru. Nose of smoked chili peppers, roasted even, smoky. CLoudy brown with lace. Flavor is chili, light malts, some caramel and esters. The heat is bearable, but basically this tastes like roasted chilis, which I don’t really like. There is a bit of orange too. Reasonably well done but not beery enough.
