12 oz. Aroma has notes of jalapenos, bready malt, lemon custard. Pours clear golden with a one finger off-white head that falls into a ring immediately. Taste has a moderate level of pepper heat backed by the bready malt sweetness, finishing dry. Mouthfeel is thin and watery. I love pepper beers, but this would have been a lot better with a fuller body.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark golden, hazy, sparse head, thin, foamy ring. Aroma features notes of caramel and citrus. Taste is a nice blend of old school hops, caramel malts, sweet, bitter, earthy. A little bit hazy, a little bit NW.

16 oz can from my daughter from Tavour. Nose is nutty pecans, cacao, vanilla, coconut, cream, and caramel. Black with a medium, lightly lacing, cinnamon head. Flavor is sweet coconut, nuts, chocolate, and vanilla. Very nice for a lighter 8.5% stout.
