UPDATED: DEC 29, 2019 2016 500 ml corked and caged bottle poured a clear reddish amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of caramel, dried fruit, chiles, light bourbon and light oak.

UPDATED: SEP 28, 2019 2015 bottle. Pretty interesting beer this thing's become, a lovely mix of caramel, woody hops, sweet red apple, bourbon, and pepper. The heat levels are apparent but tolerable, adding a spicy kick to the back end without setting the palate ablaze. Finishes moderately sweet and boozy. Nice pint.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2019 Brown with an off white head - Malt aroma with some wood and peppers - Malt body with some wood and spicy peppers - The spicy peppers with some wood and hops goes into the finish - This was nice, but a little to much on the hot peppers

UPDATED: MAR 24, 2019 Pours a cloudy deep, dark amber coloration with a large, creamy head. Smells of bready, caramel malt, red/dark fruits, citrus and pine, with just a hint of chili peppers. Taste is dominated by caramel malt, toffee, red/dark fruit: redcurrant, plum, fig and an intense, but not overbearing chili heat, as well as lighter notes of citrus fruit: grapefruit and pine, with just a hint of vanilla and and a certain earthy oak note. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some toffee and red/dark fruit lingering in the aftertaste, as well as a strong chili heat lingering on the tongue for quite a while. Full mouthfeel with a rich body and medium carbonation. I don't know if the chili has mellowed this much over 3 years or if people are just a bunch of ninnies, but this is exactly what I expected from this brew and I was not disappointed. I was was actually quite surprised by how much citrus/pine is left in this after those 3 years, but the malt and chili heat clearly dominates, with the hops providing a good balance. There are some hints of bourbon, vanilla and oak to this as well, but they could actually be a little more pronounced. Fantastic brew that does exactly what it says on the tin. As a German maker of sharp eucalyptus candies puts it: If it's too hot, you are too weak. Arrogant Consortia couldn't have put it better themselves.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2019 06-03-19 // 150ml draft at Stone Brewing Tap Room Prenzlauer Berg Berlin Murky unclear brown, small white head. Nose has a chili boozy note. Malt forward body, dried raisins. Chili very well embedded but still dominating.

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2018 Bottle shared at Jason's. A light malt brown and just heat. Pretty awful overall.

Bottle shared at Sunday Brunch Bee Boost. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Upfront vegetal chili peppers, earthy, roasted malts, caramel, heavy oak. The peppers take over and turn this whole thing messy. Truely a crime.
