Bottle conditioned and Unfiltered, it is a dark red brew that isn’t shy with the foam or lacing.
The smell has peach, very strongly peach that imparts loads of fruity notes, some sweets, and a hint of the pepper. Closing my eyes and just taking some more whiffs, the combined aromas remind me of cinnamon.
Semi sweet peach up front, a mild hop bitterness and earthy malt next, then a burst of heat from the peppers. Wow. The heat hits hard and lasts long after the swallow.
Close to full bodied if not so and lightish carbonation so the peppery taste can, imho, be a lot more manageable. Little intrusion by the ample alcohol.
This is a TREAT! !
