12 ounce at the taproom - black pour with a thin ring of tan lace - nose of cinnamon, espresso, chocolate, tamarind - medium to full body - bittersweet flavor of bakers chocolate, coffee, slight umami, slight red wine - cinnamon arrives just as the spiciness from the peppers starts to emerge - the beer is not super spicy, but the peppers certainly make their presence known and compliment the cinnamon well - none of the vegetal flavor you often get in pepper beers - nicely done.
