330 ml bottle into snifter, best before 8/13/2017. Pours dense pitch black color with a 1 finger dense dark tan head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, chili pepper, toasted dark bread, wood, smoke, blackberry, raisin, plum, light licorice/char, herbal, and roast/smokey earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of dark/roast/bready malt, chili pepper, and fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, chili pepper, toasted dark bread, wood, smoke, blackberry, raisin, plum, light licorice/char, herbal, and roast/smokey earthiness. Light-moderate roast/char bitterness and pepper spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, molasses, chili pepper, toasted dark bread, wood, smoke, dark fruit, char, and roast/smokey earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, chili pepper, and fruity yeast flavors; with a great roasted bitter/sweet and pepper spiciness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from bitter/spiciness as well. Light lingering pepper heat, lightly increasing through the glass; never becoming overwhelming. Light carbonation and very full bodied; with a very creamy, fairly slick, and lightly sticky/chalky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a light warmth lingering after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding imperial chili stout! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roast/bready malt, chili pepper, and fruity yeast flavors; very smooth and easy to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle sample at a tasting at troubles’s place. Thanks Tom L. Black with a light brown head. Aroma of roast, soy sauce, chocolate, liqueur, alcohol, a bit of chili. Bittersweet and slightly salty flavor, with soy sauce, liqueur, chocolate, and a bitter finish with alcohol and some hot chili. Full-bodied. Very nice, chili is well-integrated.
