Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a small dark brown foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry roasted malt with quite a bit of residual sugar with some chili’s notes coming through. Taste is quite heavy with loads of dry roasted malt with some strong spicy chili’s notes that offset most of the residual sugars and barrel treatment. Body is full with medium carbonation and alcohol is totally hidden by the chili notes. Interesting experiment but I would like the head to be dropped a bit too increase drinkability.

A deep dark stout with no head. In aroma, bitter chocolate with soy sauce, chili, coffee grind, very herbaceous. In mouth, a superb sweet chocolate with thick soy sauce, pinot de charente, chocolate liqueur, and hot pepper in finish, muy mexicano. Xmas Ottawa gathering Dec 13 2013.

Bottle shared. Pours near black with no head. Chillis come out strong in the aroma, with overripe dark fruits, roast, chocolate, molasses. Flavour is heavy sweet and moderate to heavy bitter. The chillis come out strong, burning my lips, tongue and throat, really intense! Full bodied with flat carbonation.

Woodshed 2.0. Bottle share courtesy of dak. It pours with a deep dark body, where the legs stain the glass, supporting really no head at all. The aroma offers up earthy and spicy and chili nuanced dark roasted malts as well as molasses and chocolate. Nice! The taste is rich nectar like sweetness that gets into chocolate fudge, dark chocolate, dark roasted malts, sweet molasses and some chocolate brownie. Wow! Then big hot burning spicy chili hits and rolls into the finish with plenty of spiciness and heat right into the after taste. All the way at the end of the sip it just burns and burns with chili heat. Hard to believe the big rich base allows for so much heat to take over midway and into the finish. Overall this is a bit too much heat to enjoy the experience. If you like hot you’ll love this for sure.

THE stout tasting Pt1. Big thanks to Jack for the hatrick of Dark Lords. Who needs Demba Ba when Jack scores like this? Opaque dark brown - black beer. Short lived bubbly dark tan head. Green vegetal nose! Soft and frothy viscous palate. Sweet dark malts with dark chocolate and cream. Big green chilli attack - spice and blooming warmth that gives an itch on the back of the throat. An experience but I think the chilli is overdone, it dominates way too much.

Bottle at The Stout Tasting Part I, London - many thanks to Jack. Pours black-brown with a beige cream head. Big green chili nose, dark malts, some dark chocolate. Really spicy flavor with more fresh, green chili pepper and background dark chocolate. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Hot finish, mostly chili heat rather than alcohol burn (although it’s tough to sort out) with more dark malt sweetness, chili-laced chocolate. The spiciness totally cuts through the sweetness. Good, but hot.

Bottle (#650 of 817, 2012 vintage) thanks to jackl, consumed at THE stouts tasting - part 1. It pours opaque dark brown with a small light tan head. The nose is vegetal, chilli pepper, roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, caramel and gingerbread. The taste is chocolate gateaux, pretty big on the chilli pepper, toffee, gingerbread, dark fruit, cognac in the background, green vegetable and fudge with a sweet, pretty spicy finish. Full body and fine carbonation. Fun to try, but there is too much chilli there. Interesting, but not well balanced.

Bottle 527 of 817. Pours with a black and glass coating hued body with hardly any head. Aromas are spicy with dried ancho, dusty, peppery, chocolate vegital and raisins. Some dark fruits, but almost all dried peppers. Flavors are sweet, raisiny, vinous, cognac, chewy fudge, chocolate, prunes, mildly boozy, some peppery heat. Unique, chewy, thick and vinous. Medium carbonation. Thankfully less peppers than the aroma. Interesting.
