[Bottle at Flittiåsen Christmas 24]

Bottle. Av unclear brown with a beige head. Cocoa, roasted malts, burnt hints and a little oxidation in the aroma. It's full bodied and lightly warming, both alcohol and chili, and a decent carbonation. Not too sweet. Dark chocolate, some coffee and oxidation, some meaty hints and roasted malts in the flavor. Lasting finish. Delicious indeed. 241228

Aroma is spicy, cherry maybe. Taste is good, surprisingly well hidden spice. Bit of heat at the end, roast.

Draught @ Koht
Aroma is quite what this promises to be: lots of cocoa with some spicy chili tones. Flavour has stinging chili notes and sweet’n’sticky cocoa malt. Finishes with moderate afterburner of chili. Just like Slottskällans Imperial Stout with chili added. Unfortunately this starts to get some vegetable-like notes typical to chili beers at the middle of the glass. Hides the ABV very well. A beer not for everyone, but if you like chili you should give it a go. If you can find it somewhere...

Medium brown color. Fairly spicy nose with a bit of molasses. The mouth is a bit thin and not so balanced. A bit unpleasantly sour. Not very balanced. Not very good. Lingering spicy finish with sour and chocolate notes. Yuck.

Tap @ Drink Baar. Pours dark brown with off white brownish head. Aroma is very strong alcohol, cocoa, and chili. Taste: alcohol (the nasty kind), sweetness, caramel, little bit watery, and cocoa. Finish is alcohol and chili burn. Overall: my first thought was: did someone drop vodka in by beer?! The alcohol was so nasty. The beer seemed like a mess, distracting alcohol, not enough body, chili seemed like failed attempt to cover up the alcohol etc. I really struggled finishing the 0,33L glass. Not a good beer. (Rating: 5:4:4:2:9=2.4) 0,33L bottle, batch 14/2. Aroma and look is similar to tap. Taste is also rather similar; alcohol is still very noticeable, but without the bad vodka taste. Chili finish seemed more moderate and more fitting, but still weird; imho chili done right is for example Mikkeller’s Texas Ranger. Overall: well I still think it’s a mess, but a lot more drinkable mess.

330 ml bottle from Drink Shop, Tallinn. Pours pitch black, brownish head, rich and stays well. Aroma is sharp, bitter chocolate, raw cocoa, some booze. Of course an intense bite of chilli, maybe a bit of roast. Taste sensation is strong at first, not many nuances coming out. Chilli is overshadowing the taste. Aftertaste has some more chilli, a bit raw and grassy, making my mouth glow and warming me from inside. Interesting beer, actually with a quite balanced body - although chilli rules, it does not feel weak or watery. Overall interesting experience, maybe even too intense, so not sure if I want to repeat it :)

30cl on tap at Drink bar, Tallinn. Very dark brown with a tan head. Malty aroma with roasty notes, dark fruits, hints of chocolate and noticeable chili. Medium sweet and malty with nice dark flavours a very nice chili. Excellent stuff!
