Top fermented beer which is subjected to a secondary fermentation in bottle. It is deep dark ebony in color with a cappuccino head. The nose has aromas of chocolate, licorice, coffee grounds and tobacco with alcohol nuances. Its full bodied, long lasting, smooth and dry mouth is followed by a surprisingly hot finish that breaks its initial fullness and makes you crave more!

From the November 2013 3R6P tasting. +++ Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a trace soapy tan head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was sweet cocoa, black licorice, cracker and toasty malts. The flavor was bitter, roasty and a bit watery and a bit smoky with a dryish toasty presence and undertones of hot peppers and vanilla. Medium length finish of roasty malts, smoke, vanilla and hot peppers. Full bodied and smooth though undercarbonated. Ok.

Draft at gingerman as I escape work for a few. Pours jet black with nose of pepper and chocolate. Tastes of dark chocolate, raisins, ash, black pepper and the you feel hot peppers in back of nose and throat on finish. Slight boozy quality but drinkable with a lot going on

From a 330ml bottle on 1/9/2013. Pours jet black with a smallish tan head. The aroma is pleasant, featuring lots of chocolate and some caramel malt. The falvour features lots of dark chocolate with some nutty and roasty malt at the back. The hot pepper is really pronounced, hitting you immediately and lingering long after the swallow. Has a fullish body and perhaps a little more carbonation that a typical impy. This is nicely put together and the pepper angle makes it unusual, but the pepper is just a little too much for me, as it made me feel like having a glass of water afterwards. That said, I can see why others would rate this quite highly.
