12oz bottle pours out a hazy amber almost topped with flames. The nose is all peppers fire and hell. I can eat hot food with the best of them, I love me some green chili and you name it hot I love it. But this was ridicules I got the hiccups from this stupid beer. I will say if burning your mouth is what they were after mission accomplished. Taste is flaming hot peppers with a touch of fire.

Bottle, thanks to Jeremy for the pain. Smells rich of peppers and intense heat. A little earthy, but mostly heat... Decent enough. Taste is pure heat... Instant shutdown. Easily the hottest beer I’ve ever had. Undrinkable really. I couldn’t bring myself to have more than an ounce.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange and frothy off white head. The aroma is chilis and pepper. Thick mouthfeel with strong burn of chili peppers. Wrecked my palate and couldnt taste anything for half an hour. Why?

Sample of the "XXX Cask version" at the North Market Fiery Foods Festival on 02/18/2012. The cask version was unfiltered and had chili puree as well as the chilies floating in it, as opposed to the bottled version which is filtered. Pours a slightly cloudy (and ominous looking in retrospect) ruddy orange color with a minimal off-white head that disappears quickly. Nil lacing on the glass. Aroma of pure chili peppers and maybe a touch of malt. Can’t really speak to the body as I took what must have been too big of a drink and immediately lost the capacity for speech or coherent thought. Quite literally the hottest thing that has ever passed my lips. After exploding into my mouth and making me see stars I could track the progress of the liquid fire from my lips to my tongue, throat, esophagus and stomach. No problems with the next phase though, thanks for asking. According to my wife I turned pretty red, especially my nose. The guy pouring it said they went in with a plan to make a beer that was "undrinkable". Mission accomplished. I also heard anecdotally of people throwing up in the bathroom, etc. Needless to say the flavor was pure scorching hot chili peppers. I maybe drank an ounce of it and that was enough, I made a bee-line for the ice cream shop downstairs. All said this makes Ed’s Cave Creek look like child’s play, yet I still cannot say "worst beer ever" because they obviously put a lot of thought and effort into concocting it. I would never try it again though.
