Pours a nice brown color with a small head.The nose is full on chocolate with a peppery heat nose.The flavor was the same.The chocolate was up front and slamming into you then it was followed by the pepper heat.The finish had some heat behind it definately feeling it in your throat.The heat was mild, it just made a presence.Thanx Troy for sharing this.

Well now here’s something different. Huge chocolate aroma with a nice roasty background. Seems like there’s a little rummy alcohol in there too, or maybe its the peppery kick of the cayenne? Right there in the first sip, the cayenne is unmistakeable. Check that - if I hadn’t known the beer had cayenne, I would have thought it was a spicy fusel alcohol. Well built stout behind the pepper, with plenty of roast and good smooth carbonation.

I like this beer! There’s a smoothness to it that is nicely contrasted with the peppery hottness of the cayenne. Also the maltiness. Really, I like the way this turned out. A bit of a problem with head retention and lace, but wth. Nice n dark, very chocolatey, silky. Nice finish. Had a bottle of this at Bodega Brew Pub, downtown La Crosse, Wis.

Bottle. Oily black pour with no head. Aroma of roasted malt and some light peppper. Flavor of hot, spicy pepper, sour roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Medium body roasty/spicy/sour with a dry/spicy finish. Neat brew.

Bottle. Deep brown with a small, fizzy head. Disturbing tan floaters. Flavor was roasted malt and cocoa, with red pepper coming later. Like eating spicy food; you don’t realize how much red pepper there is until after you drink. Not truly ’hot’, but a definite factor. Weird and artificial.

Bottle: Pours black with a tan head. Aroma, chocolate and spice, mainly a hint of cayenne. Flavor, baker’s chocolate, but the cayenne takes over. The heat isn’t really that intense, but it over powers most any other flavor.
