Black with minimal tan head. The aroma is deliciously roasted and coffeeish, well-hopped and complex.The flavor is coffeeish and chocolatey, well-hopped and firmly malty (roasted, sweet) with huge amounts of vibrant chili flavor and considerable, lingering heat which carries through well past the long, bitter finish. Immensely complex and flavorful. Smooth and full, modestly carbonated mouthfeel. A sublime, experimental beer - the pick of the litter at EBF 2008, IMHO.
