Tap at the Ho Chi Minh brewpub. Poured a hazy dark brown with a thin broken off white head. The aroma is sweet roasted malts, butter fudge, caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich buttery popcorn palate and a spicy chilli kick in the finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Nicely balanced. The level of chilli spice was just right and the smooth rich sweet build up was quite unique.
