Draft. Dark brown almost black with a tan head. Whew! This one was spicy. Aroma and taste was dark roasted grains and not much pepper but it had the heat.

Draught at EBF, 2/5/16.
A tough one to rate, as are most pepper beers. As usual, I fuckin love the balls-to-the-wall pepper heat and incredible spicy flavor. But then, it’s certainly dominant and is going to be very off-putting to those not looking for an extreme chili beer. As far as what it does for the beer itself, I do like that it helps dry out the otherwise powerfully sweet maltiness. There’s some ashy roast and very light coffee and vanilla, but by and large it’s a battle of chili pepper vs. richly chocolate and caramel-tinged base malts. I loved it, though I do think if they took the FG and the scovilles down somewhat, they’d have a really, really nice beer that would appeal to more people. But good for them for not doing that, honestly, and brewing a beer they wanted to.

(bottle) clear very dark brown colour with a small brown head; aroma of chocolate, brown sugar; pleasant spicy, balanced flavour with a long, medium spicy finish

12 ounce bottle. Pours a murky dark brown color with a medium white head. A sweet vegetal nose, nothing obviously too hot. A fruity flavor with additions of big heat and pepper, some caramel. The base isn’t big enough to hold the pepper, but it isn’t nearly as hot as other pepper beers, and pretty easy in some ways. OK. Like a brown porter base.

Smells of a freshly opened latex paint can, butterscotch. Clear dark brown, thin yellow head. Smoke flavor with a peppery bite. Medium body, alcohol not evident. One wonders whether the peppers were added to hide a diacetyl infection. I don’t mind a little diacetyl in a porter or stout.

Sample at World Of Beer. Dark brown pour with a thin light beige head that dissipates steadily. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt, coffee and hops. Medium body with flavors of malt, hot peppers and coffee. The finish is earthy with a peppery aftertaste. Overall doesn’t work very well for me.
