Bottle and served in my Expedition snifter: Basic near black with an initial huge fluffy beige head and good lace. The aroma is milk and bakers chocolate, vanilla, oak, roast, fig, molasses and earthy yeast. The taste starts very sweet with big chocolate overtones but the surprise comes when you are done drinking it and the sublime heat of the Cayenne suddenly shows up. Additionally there is an oaky, earthy, and coffee quality to this beer. The mouth feel is strange, chalky and syrupy but then that spice dries things out. The addition of the Cayenne pepper makes this interesting for sure but alas it is something I am not sure I would want again. I would rather have any of the other Yeti’s versions over this. That said, I bet this would rock with a good Mole Negro.

Nov 29, 2009 Solid black with a thick creamy brown head. Aroma is milk chocolate, alcohol, and a hop spice. Taste is sweet milk chocolate and this bottle has more alcohol flavor noticeable than the other Yeti’s in a side by side tasting. Has a white pepper spicy finish. Very rich and flavorful.

Nov 26, 2009 22oz bomber. Pours a deep drown almost black with a menacing, dark brown head that has good retention and leaves spots of lacing. Aroma is pears, Mayan chocolate. Mostly spiced, baked, Bosc pears. Taste really is just overwhelmed by cayenne pepper. There is a good authentic Mayan chocolate presence, but it gets lost in sort of the fruity sweetness of this beer. I don’t taste any of the oak or vanilla in this. Sad.

Nov 26, 2009 Tarry black with a tall, tan head. Fluid aromas of yeast, bitter chocolate, malted milk and greens. First bitter bite, and a heated finish. Surprisingly light, with a distinct chocolate finish. Green, piney, vegetal hops are a bit of a clash with the delicate malt flavors. Though the beer could use more balance and less alcohol, it works as a light stout with a spicy hop presence.

Nov 24, 2009 Drank it with my wife in a beautiful hotel in Antigua Guatemala. We paired it with a delicious sea salt and chili dark chocolate produced in Antigua. Smooth, light bodied, silky, chocolate, some bitterness not much, might miss the hops, but a great alternative.

Nov 22, 2009 Bomber. Pours opaque black with large, dense tan head that leaves a wall of lacing. The aroma is dark chocolate, vanilla, a little bit of soy sauce, oak, marshmallow creme, and a hint of licorice. The flavor is vanilla and chocolate right off the bat. It starts off rather sweet, but tones down fairly quickly. A mellow, creamy sweetness then comes in with the first real inklings of hops. The finish has a little bit of earthy bitterness to it, along with a noticeable oak character. There’s something in there that I assume is the cayenne, but I would not have noticed it if I didn’t know it was there. Quite a tasty beer.

Nov 22, 2009 What the two gentlemen above me said. This is what I wish Southern Tier’s Choklat had tasted like...drier than that fine brew, and more drinkable...the heat is very mild, but definitely livens things up, and helps dry out the residual sweetness. The balance is perfect, and so is the body...not too thick, but just creamy enough to carry all that flavor. The finish is extremely long, and terrific.
