0.33 l bottle from ’Vormann Brauerei’, best before February 2018. Dark brown to black with a thin, frothy, slowly diminishing, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly roasty aroma of toasted nuts, milk chocolate, some vanilla and hints of coffee. Quite sweet, malty, moderately roasty taste of milk chocolate, coffee, toasted nuts and a touch of vanilla, followed by a medium long, slightly roasty-bitter, a bit earthy and rather peppery-hot finish. Medium body, slightly creamy mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tastes exactly the same as the regular version, just with a long chili burn in the finish. That’s why I like the regular version better.

Tap. Dark brown color with beige head. Aroma is vegetal, chocolate, touch of chili flesh. Taste is slightly hot chili, chocolate, and a touch of coffee. Silky mouthfeel, spicy aftertaste. Nice, the hotness is very balanced, but the aroma is a bit vegetal.

Dunkel malziger, wenig gemüseartiger Antrunk. Die Chili Schote kommt ab dem Mittelteil deutlich hervor, stört aber nicht. Rund malzig. 10/8/9/9//9
