Featured Thursday night firkin. Shaker glass firkin draft at the brewery in Lexington, Kentucky. The pour is a cloudy yellow dark golden with a minimal off white head. The aroma is big spicy Thai chili, eventually shows some grassy basil notes as well. The bartender had warned me, but I still was not ready for the huge hot spice blast of the Thai chili in the first sip. It was breath taking (in a literal sense). I like spice, so I was able to power through, and pick up on some of the basil, along with a pleasant earthy grass element. There really was not much else beyond that. The palate was firkin low natural carbonation with a medium body. The heat is really not at all well managed, and there is no balance to this beer, but it was still fun.
