Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish, relatively fast-dying tan head that barely coats the top after a few minutes. Aroma of poblano peppers (of course), with literally no heat, but a good flavour profile with some roasted malt, light grain, a dose of vanilla and a touch of caramelised sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong poblano notes with a bit of a smoked peat flavour, some lighter nuttier and earthy notes with a dash of sugars and a hint of some vanilla and some almost porter and full stoutier notes. Aftertaste shows almost exclusively the poblano peppers with a big hint of vanilla, caramelised sugars and a lot of the dry, earthy flavours that you'd get from a stout, but the roasted malt and obviously the peppers make all the difference here. Overall, a very nice beer to sample with a lot of the pepper note, but no heat, however a good flavour profile and a robust bite throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Supermarket Liqours in Fort Collins, Colorado on 05-June-2017 for US$1,75 sampled at home in Washington on a [finally] chilly night on 18-October-2019, a bit more than 2 years after purchase.

12 oz. can. Pours black, with a small, tan head. Celery and jalapeno on the nose, with some milk chocolate, coffee, and earth. Sweet and malty, with a hint of bitterness. Medium body, with a chalky, malty mouthfeel. A pretty solid, simple stout, and as promised on the can, no heat.

From a 12 oz. can. Pours a dark cola brown with an ecru head. Flavors of chocolate and mild chili. Bitter roast finish.

From my dear brother in a can: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is poblano peppers and some chocolate. There is a definite peppery taste going throughout, and, as the can promises, there is no spiciness to be had. This makes for an interesting take on the pepper beer. It isn’t bad. It is perfectly drinkable. Would be interesting to see other kinds of beers with poblanos (apparently a bunch exist, but none in mass market circulation).

Meduim brown, aroma is thin toasty stout. The poblano shows on the palate, but doesn’t really blend well with the sweetish fudgey malts.

Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Brownish-black color with a medium tan head and partial rings of lace. Roasted malt and coffee in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of coffee, chocolate and roast malt. The finish is roasty with a short malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Tap @ brewery. Dark brown appearance with a brown head. Dark chocolate, moderate roasty coffee aroma with a hint of vanilla. Nice dark chocolate malty, somewhat roasty flavor with a not very spicy, bell pepper finish. The peppers weren’t spicy and it kind of have a fajita flavor. Despite that, it was my favorite during my visit.
