375ml bottle of 2005 vintage from Harry! Been burning a hole in my cellar waiting for Enniskillen to come and share it. His first glass had two peppercorns in it, mine poured out three Thai peppers. Nose of apples, mild chili, woodiness, and pepperiness. Very lightly hazed gold with no carbonation. Flavor of the Thai peppers which I buy fresh each time I go to a Bistro Beer Fest at the Farmers Market that is there each Saturday mixed with appley sweetness and woody undertones. I am going to eat the three peppers that poured into my glass and then use some of the three inches left in the bottle to make some chili after I finish the rest of the cider. This ain’t no Cave Creek Chili Beer! Nice and hot sweetness!

Shared by puzzl (a hot pepper himself). I never rated cooking wine before and I probably wont again. Lets just say 375mL was way too much to go around for 10 people. My portion even had a pepper pop out Aroma is all woodsy and cedar, some moth balls and very medicinal. Taste has has some medicinal qualities as well with a bit of sweetness at the end. Then a huge burst of pepper and heat. Its an experience but not one I want to revisit. I really did not like the aroma but could stand the flavor.

Bronze colour with a chile and a peppercorn in the glass. Huge black pepper nose with a hint of chile. Apple sweetness and massive hot pepper, with a hint of peppercorn. Kind of burly. Not for everyone, but I like it.
