Dark brown almost black with an explosive head that almost filled the glass. Had to wait to try the beer. Aroma was chocolate, dark roasted grains and a tad of cinnamon. Taste was chocolate and cinnamon with some heat.

From a pint can. Pours black with a tan head. Aromas of chocolate and cinnamon. Flavors are sweet cocoa and bitter coffee with lingering cinnamon finish.

I like the heat level, but the spicing seems off, coming off a lot more like than weird winter Pepsi from a couple years ago than a Mexican hot chocolate stout. The stout itself is good, offering up moderate notes of chocolate and vanilla, with subtle dark fruit undertones and a mild roastiness on the finish. And the lingering pepper bite is lovely. Gets carried away with the spices, though. Not bad, but needs to tone down everything but the heat.
