A hazy brown pour with no head. Veggies and peat on the nose. Blast of smoke and heat on the flavor. Tad foamy and thin. Unusual, hot and nice. The heat wasn’t overpowering. Pretty nice.

22oz bottle@Noogfest4.0-thanks to beerguy101–pours an off white ring for a head and amber color. Aroma is medium malt, jalapeños. Taste is medium malt-smoke then jalapeños roll in like a steam roller. Interesting.

Noogfest ’08. The body was dark copper with a khaki head. The aroma was malty with smoke and chile. The taste was very spicy, a big surprise for me. Not bad, jsut a shock. There was also some bread and carrots. Very well done.

Tasted at Noogfest 4.0 (2008). This chile beer pours a medium amber color from the bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is malt, some chili and some spice. A medium bodied ale. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy. There is an intense and clean chili flavor at the finish. It just sort of comes out of left field at you. Nice. A great beer with Mexican food. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter and HOT!

Bottle at Noogfest Four-O. Pours dark rust with cream head. The aroma is very smoky with a little bit of sweetness. The flavor is jalapeno, smoke, and distant caramel. Plenty of capsaicin heat makes itself known, and it seems to be cumulative. By the end of my sample, the heat is building up to a pretty impressive level. I could have put down that whole bomber myself if given the chance. Good stuff.

Why do I keep fooling with these pepper spice beers? Anyway it poured a brown color with little head present. The aroma is malty but shove a pepper shaker up your nose. The flavor is hot with loads of black pepper and some alcohol and caramel. NEXT!

This one gave me mixed feelings. Aroma and parts of the flavor were lovely. There was a nice smokiness, slight fruitiness, good malt character. Then again, it’s was painful drinking this. I like spicy food. There just isn’t enough in the beer to balance the burn.

Cloudy brown, no head. Faint peppery, woodsy aroma, and the flavor is also earthy then...wait for it...wait for it... HUGE peppery explosion of flavor. Even with a small sample, heat dominates (in a good way, of course). Fun and tasty. Sampled at Noogfest Four-O. Thanks to beerguy 101 for this one.
