Sample from cask at the brewpub. Brown-black color with a medium tan head that recedes gradually to a dense film. Patchy lacing. Aroma of roast malt, chocolate and cayenne pepper. Light to medium body with flavors of roasted malt, cocoa, cinnamon and cayenne. The finish is chocolatey with a peppery aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
