Jet black pour, small beige head. First thing I got off the aroma was a punch of smokey Chipotle.... Then I look at the commercial description, and it all makes sense. Lots of smoke, and Chipotle. Very bitter, with some distinct pepper flavours, with the slightest tinge of heat. As it warms the cocoa comes through with a subtle sweetness.

Gusher! Does what it promises. Proper stout, chocolatey malts, some coffee. Little bit thin, though. The chilli is well done, nice touch of heat on the lips and in the throat. Just enough heat for the body to handle. Solid chilli stout.

(Bottle) Black colour with big, frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, cacao, dried fruit, strong black coffee, dried apricots and a touch of chilli. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, cacao, black coffee, dried fruit, some orange peel, burnt sugar and a sweetish finish with a mild cacao bitterness and some chilli heat coming through after a while. More than medium body, with smooth mouthfeel. Quite sweet. Interesting, with good chocolate and chilli flavours, but gets too sweet to be in perfect balance. Quite nice.

The beer gushed out of the bottle, so lost a lot of it and head disappeared quickly leaving no lace. Dark brown colour with ruby highlights. Beautiful aromas of chocolate, chocolate and spicy spices. The taste is pretty much the same with some coffee notes. A little oily mouthfeel. A very good chipotle chocolate stout.

Negra casi opaca, tinte rojizo. Espuma ocre poco duradera. Aroma intenso a chocolate, y notas de chipotle. Sorprendente en boca. Pica! Es una notable stout, cremosa, de paso fácil y con rico sabor a chocolate, pero que a medida que avanza el trago aporta un notable picor en garganta que crece en el postgusto, muy sabroso y donde se intuye un mínimo regusto a chipotle. Merece ser probada, y compartida... porque a la larga resulta algo cansina.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a creamy, beige head. Aroma is very sweet milk chocolate. Medium body, again sweet milk chocolate accents - appear artificial somehow - and then a discreet chili bite. A vague underlying roastiness. Pretty gross to be honest, and the flavour components are really a match made in hell. 260916

Bottle from Latitude, Leeds. Black with next to no head. Has a strong chocolate aroma, with its spice subduing this greatly in its taste. It only provides a mild kick and fire in the palate though.
