750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks Chuck), pours black with a small light brown head. Nose brings out chilli peppers and cinnamon sticks, with the chilli eclipsing the cinnamon - there is some subtle hint of roasted malt and cocoa powder buried further underneath. Flavour brings out the best of chilli, cinnamon sticks, and light cocoa powder - the chillies are most dominant, followed by the cinnamon. Loads of depth and complexity, with perfect execution of all the spicing. Excellent stuff - highly enjoyable, especially considering I don't normally enjoy spiced stouts.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks Chuck), pours a dark purple, almost like grape juice, with some bubbles for a head. Aroma of black currants, some Belgian candied sugar, and some lightly tart grapes. Flavour is lightly tart, with black currant, some mild candied sweetness, and grapes. Lightly tart and very dark fruity. ABV is no where to be detected. Good fruit beer - I'm just not a big fan of black currants.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks Chuck) and coryking (thanks Cory). Pours a hazy amber with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, candied sugar, some white chocolate, toasted nuts and boozy liqueur. Flavour is light on the tongue but very alcoholic, with lots of booze, some candied sugar, paint thinner and faint licorice. Extremely boozy and paint thinner-like, with high carbonation. Way off the mark here.

750mL bottle, sent from tstockstrom (thanks a lot, Chuck), pours an opaque orangey ruby red with a small white head. Aroma of grapes, loads of brett and oak - very complex, inviting nose. Flavour is very funky and wild, with some lightly tart grapes, brett funk, oak barrels and some dank earthy notes. Very complex, with an earthy red wine finish. Highly drinkable, made so by the funky qualities. Excellent stuff.

T - Taste is similar to the smell. lots of cherry, blackberries and dark fruits. sort of sweet at the finish.
M - medium body, high carbonation
O - Not a bad beer. Not one I’d seek out again though.
