Reviewed from notes.
Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissolved to leave some light lace along the sides of the glass
Aroma: milk chocolate, ancho chiles, some cinnamon and a light dose of vanilla, some light coffee roast far down in there too
Flavor: seems to do a decent job to blend the prior noted aromas to a sweet to spicy quality initially then adds in a little bit of roasty vibe underneath; finishes sweet & spicy
Texture: medium to full bodied; this is a sipper! light smoothness but also some triggering from the chilis to enact expected aggressive spicy tones to the tongue and the cinnamon allowing that to happen
Overall: this is a very well done beer and not one for the faint of heart. Be warned!

Can from Corti Bros. Pours very dark brown with a creamy/bubbly dark tan head. Aroma is chocolate/chile. We're not talkin' Mexican Hot Chocolate here! Pretty much full bodied. Flavor is chile/chocolate/touch of cinnamon. I'm capsaicin sensitive and a single quaff started the water springs a runnin'. Yet it's very mild compared to Punishment and Crime, has a smoked chile aspect, and the cinnamon is in pleasing amounts. Not a hint of alcohol heat. This is fairly undry, but not sweet at all. It's not very hoppy for me, but the strong flavors make up for that. It is amazingly well done.
