Can. Poured a nearly pitch black color with a small tan head. Aroma was light peppers, got big peppercorn in this. Spicy ginger is a bit subdued. Flavor was light peppery chilies. Tasty. At the December DC Ratebeer tasting.

From a pint can at a RB tasting. Pours black with a tan head. Aromas are peppermint and chocolate. Flavors are sweet with some spicy peppermint.

Lots ginger and lots of Chilli pepper. Black pour with decent head. Some roast. Bittersweet finish with some tang. Ok but not really drinkable on some larger level. Can.

Super deep dark brown coloured body with an odd, quickly forming, three to four centimetre tall rich deep brown head that fades pretty quickly and leaves just about nothing on top, after only a few seconds, despite no pressure in the metal of the can - odd. Aroma of super strong roasted malts, vanilla, earth, grain, oatmeal, licorice and anise with a lot of deep chile and heat noticeable in the nose and finishing with some additional brown sugars and alcohol here that is picked up in the scent, too. Full-bodied; Very rich oatmeal, roasted malt and pungent earthiness come out at first with a nice robust flavour with a bunch of complexity, but also some very enjoyable heat from the chiles with a light lactose and vanilla sweetness on the end, as well. Aftertaste shows some relatively robust and strong earthy, oatmeal notes, but the sweetness and especially the chile heat comes through and produces a great complexity at the end, with a balanced, creamy and rich set of flavours throughout that seem to keep you guessing for the duration and especially at the end. Overall, a very nice and rich beer that hits nicely throughout, especially with the heat, sweetness and pungent that gives some difference in flavours than most for the style. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from BeerTopia in Omaha, Nebraska on 10-October-2019 for US$4,99 sampled at my house here in Washington THREE years after purchase, to celebrate a 20mi training run with my wife, sampled on 10-October-2022.

Can sample at a tasting at Odi's place. Thanks Stas. Black. Chili pepper, ginger, roast, coffee, chocolate, bitterish and umami, a bit sweetish, spicy.
