Draft at Six Ten. Pours clear amber-brown with a creamy white head. Toasty brown bread in the aroma, suggestions of dried fruits. Medium sweet flavor with lightly sugary brown bread, light chocolate, slight pepper spice. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with cleansing pepper heat, more toasted brown bread, light cocoa, some leafy hops. The pepper heat is just enough. I like it.

Tap @ brewpub. Brown ruby - reddish coloured with a beige head. Nose is toasted malts, chocolate, caramel, honey. Flavour is initially toasted malts, fruits, chocolate, followed by an increasing spicyness and hotness. Honey also noticable later. Finish is slightly sweet and fairly spicy. Well balanced with the peppers and honey. Develops as you sip. Very well done.

Tap at GABF 2013. Poured a clear dark brown with a bubbly tan head. The aroma is yeast roasted malt and alcohol. The flavour is strong bitter with a malty barnyard spice chilli palate which really kicks in late in the finish. I was wondering when it would come but t did and didn’t disappoint.

on tap-tan head with some trailing lace-brown. A-soft roasty med malt, slight honey. T-starts with soft roasty med malt, slight honey. Then a slight warming at the back of the throat. This does build just a bit with each sip along with the sweetness. Nice.

Great American Beer Festival, 2012. Dark. This beer had tons of flavor and I thought it was one of the highlights of the festival. There is anise, orange, pepper, and cardamom. Lightly sweet. Very good.

Poured up at GABF 2012 with a nice mahogany looking body that supports a sort of mocha colored head that has some tan swirls to it and it leaves behind a little bit of lacing too. Nice looking brew. The aroma seems kind of Abbey Dubbel like initially and comes across pleasing with ripe brown sugar covered plum like sweet fruity esters, and what seems like a touch of coriander and clove and then some earthy chocolate notes in the background. Wow, ok, the taste is really nice. It starts off with dark roasted malts and then picks up a rich near velvety dark chocolate note and it quickly rolls into more and more chili pepper heat midway and into the finish. Fantastic experience on the first sip. I hope the sips to follow can maintain . . . maintain damn you! Oh it does, nice. Into the after taste it leaves a modest chili pepper burn and warming that certainly isn’t too much but sure lets you know it’s there. Really nice brew. Well done!
