RE-RATE: 500ml bottle from Stori, Bala. Pours black, thin tan head. Aroma is sulphur, light chilli. Taste is plummy with good chilli presence, some tomato. Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival 2013. Really don’t know why I went for this after previous bad experience with chili beers. This doesn’t exactly sway me, but it’s a lot better than the last I had. Dark malts, slight caramel and a sharp chili tang that hits you as you take a gulp. Couldn’t get much plums. Overall ok, but not my cup of tea.

On gravity at the Great Welsh Beer & Cider festival, 6/6/2013. Dark brown with a slight, off-white head. Chocolate, some tart plum fruits and toasty malts, before a dryish finish with touch of chilli warmth. Good.

500ml bottle. Dark brown colour with average to huge, creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Fruity aroma, hints of plum, a touch of chili in the background. Taste is initially fruity, hints of plum, later dry dark malty, bitter hoppy, minimally soapy overtones, a peppery touch of chili in the background flashes up in the finish. Nice composition, could still tolerate more strength of the individual components (dark malt, fruit, chili) if proportionality is kept.
