Pint can pours with a deep mahogany colored body that supports a thin ring of tan bubbles. The aroma offers up a blend of dark fruits to spicy fruity cake as well as some dusty dark chocolate bar and a chili pepper spiciness. The taste delivers a fairly thin body that presents a blend of cinnamon, chocolate, a bit of vanilla and some dark chocolate velvety goodness. To midway the modest level of chili peppers bubble to the surface with a mild sense of the chili pepper flavour that quickly flows into a restrained to even mild level of chili pepper heat. This comes across a little thin as well as disjointed to be top notch but it is a really nice sipper.

Taster at the brewery. Pours black, with a small, beige head. The aroma is cinnamon, dark chocolate, black pepper, and toffee. Very sweet, with a little heat. Heavy body, with a thick, syrupy palate. This is a delicious, spicy stout.
