This is anunually tame beer from Dogfish Head, but very enjoyable. Lots of that chocolate undertones, virtually zero head, and a very enjoyable drink IMO. Definitely a honey skew, well balanced ale and lightly carbonated. Bottle @ 58F.
I think anyone could drink and enjoy this beer, which is saying a lot for the kind of beers I like!

Dec 15, 2009 Bottle. Brown pour with vigorous tan head. Slight cocoa, spices and etoh flavor, definitely a DFH concoction. Chilies don’t make it, IMO.

Nov 29, 2009 Bottle. Pours orange/gold, with a white head. Aroma is fruit, sugar, and some spices. Flavor is fruit, and sugar, with some chile burn as you swallow. Medium body. Not bad, but I was expecting more, with the interesting ingredients used.

Nov 28, 2009 Pours a small tan head with good retention and laceing. Hazy gold amber color. Medium body, soft carbonation, oily and coating. Fruity nose with notes of honey and spice, maybe a bit of cinnamon. Cocoa i did not really taste, was really looking for that, peppery spiceyness was neat, light earthy and vinous notes too boot. Dry, peppery finish. Bottles procured @statelineliquors. Interesting brew but somewhat dissapointing in flavors and aromas.

Nov 27, 2009 Despite many others saying they did not detect the chilies, I did, probably because it was the one element I wasn’t looking forward to. Nevertheless, it appeared in its long finish, just a subtle suggestion that I had just had something with chilies in it. Made for an interesting experience. Otherwise, it poured a lovely, cloudy yellow with very little head. Aroma was lacking and quite disappointing. Overall, interesting, malty, spicy, definitely worth trying!

Nov 25, 2009 Nice head, color. Aroma lacking. Very malty which goes along with the higher alc. content. Would probably not buy a second bottle.

Nov 25, 2009 Pours clear orange with a small white head. Not much lacing here. The nose is chocolate, cinnamon, and some chili pepper. The taste is a lot like Mexican coffee. Alcohol is somewhat present and warming. This us interesting. DFH makes many great beers and always try interesting things. Decent beer.

Nov 23, 2009 Consumed 6-7-09....Bottle in the rack since Nov. 2008..... Slightly cloudy on the pour with a light copper body...not much head happening...just a skimming of light beige~~~when I sniffed the bottle (before the pour)...cocoa wafted into my nostrils, and not as much in the glass......nose to glass is a honey driven aroma followed by tea....It tastes like candy corn! (infused with alcohol)....honey makes a sticky impression on the lips, then I get vanilla.....interesting aroma to the Theobroma...chillies not so much anywhere though....its drinkable...very interesting it captures the essence of a beer fest.....sweet malts throughout....finish is a bitter tea bag.....body is thick but not overdone...its so damn interesting I want more of it...small sediment left in the glass.....acquired via trade with beachbum25...thanks :)
