Tap sample at Uiltje Bar. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, some dark fruits, malts, hint of green pepper. Flavour is medium sweet to sweet, milk chocolate, dark fruits, malts, light roast, chili burn in the finish. Medium to full bodied. More like a Quad, but OK beer anyway.

7 3 8 3 16 Draft at Uiltje Bar, Haarlem. Hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma of rich malt, caramel, toffee, licorice and light chilli. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Medium to full bodied with light chilli warmth in the finish and soft carbonation.

Tap at Kaapse. Clear dark reddish brown with small dark beige head. Sweet chocolate, licorice, molasses, light chilies indeed, soft citrus, brown sugar, light roast. Quite sweet and medium bitter. Over medium bodied with slick feel, doesn’t feel one second like an 11% Beer. Nice one.

Collab of an Italian craft brewery with Cigar City, a stout flavoured with chilli peppers and chocolate. Bottle of 37.5 cl, from De Hopduvel in Ghent. Thinnish, irregularly lacing, pale greyish beige head, slowly diminishing over a hazy, very dark brownish bronze beer, bordering on black but still fully translucent under bright light. Aroma of hazelnut paste, milk chocolate bars, brownies, fig juice, elderberry syrup, ruby port, wood glue, treacle, liquorice, stewed plum, dried peach, muesli, brown bread, chestnuts - but hardly any chilli in the nose. Sweet onset, dried banana and candied fig, old raisins, sourish blackberry juice-like note, soft carbonation, slick and bit oily mouthfeel, though not as thick as I was hoping for. Very nutty malt body, resiny caramelly effect, chocolate flavour increasing towards the end without becoming over the top; ends caramelly sweet with the chilli heat coming through, softly burning, over a strong, whisky-like alcohol effect, a bit too astringently so for my personal liking. Nutty and a bit toasted but lacking in the thick, viscous roasted coffee bitterness I was hoping for, too boozy in the end but generally a very enjoyable beer, though I was expecting more from a brew with the name Cigar City attached to it.
