Our cream stout, is an indulgent beer brewed with generous amounts of English chocolate and roasted malts, as well as the traditional addition of lactose. Our stout, however, parted ways with tradition when we added over 20 pounds of Cascabel peppers to the beer. Cascabel peppers, also called Guajillo, are characterized by their earthy character and deep, smooth spiciness. The peppers were de-stemmed by hand and added to the beer post-fermentation to achieve their most potent flavor potential. They add hints of raisins and berries to the beer, as well as a subtle tingling spiciness that washes away with each gulp.

On nitro tap at (512), pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is fairly boozy, with cocoa, kahlua and light spiciness. Flavour is similar, with spiciness, booze and cocoa. Creamy palate, with a spicy, boozy finish. Okay.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man - Houston, 2/11/14
Aroma: The nose is roasted malt, coffee, and plenty of chocolate
Appearance: This one pours a dark brown color with a decent sized brown head and mild lace
Flavor: The taste is roasted coffee and chocolate upfront with a pretty peppery finish to it
Palate: This beer has a smooth and creamy feel on the mouth, with a long, spicy finish
Overall Impression: This is a pretty interesting one. I didn't realize I was getting a pepper beer, and the nose and the early part of the flavor didn't lead me that way either, but I get plenty of pepper from the finish.

On tap. Pours with a deep black hued body with a lasting, deep tan head. Aromas are of strong and dark chocolate, raisins, light heat, earthy, fudge and mild esters. Sipping the beer gives you a mild nasal/back of the throat burn. Flavors are of dry roast, chocolate, bready malt, plums, grainy, and some lactose character. Fuller bodied, lower carbonation.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours black with a brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of roasted malt and light coffee with a nice backing creaminess. Flavor begins with a bit of sweet chocolate and roasted malts but finished slightly weak with a hint of roast and a bit of heat that lasts.

On tap at Petrol Station. Pours a dark brown with a small tan head that diminishes quickly to nothing. The aroma is a smokey malt and roast with chocolate. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet malt and cream vanilla with a nice spicy finish. Easy to drink, a very good sweet stout from (512).
