    Strong aroma has a malty core and notes of - each whiff seems different. I get cocoa, cinnamon, nuts, and even hints of chili peppers and caramel. Gets the old salivary glands in action. Pours a barely translucent chocolate brown with a good light tan head that doesn’t stick around too long. Flavor has malty, chocolaty, nutty, sweet syrupy, and earthy tones, plus a sharp chili pepper note. I like hot foods in the right circumstances, but I really don’t care for hot pepper in my beer. However, it is subtle enough that it doesn’t detract much from the rest of the taste. I get a firm undercurrent of hoppy bitterness as well. Texture is smooth, syrupy, and not too tingly, though the pepper provides a little "pins and needles" feeling. Overall, distinctive, delicious, interesting.

    Pours a deep black/brown with a rich brown head that dissipates to about 1 cm. Nose is cinnamon, a hint of chilies, toasted pecans come through just a bit, and dark chocolate. There are also some notes of coffee, rich caramel and just a bit of dark fruit like plums. The taste is caramel, dark malts with only hints of chilies, cinnamon and some sweet, nutty flavors. The finish is spiciness from the chilies and cinnamon, creating a nice warming sensation.

    A nice brown/porter looking brew that is just a tiny bit behind the really awesome spiced stouts if you will (ie-chocolate sombrero). Pecans are at once a nice touch and a deterrent, causing the flavor to be a touch too sweet. Chili and cinnamon and chocolate really comes out as the beer warms. I'd get far more often if not so expensive.

    A ruddy brown in color with a moderate light brown frothy head. Some retention to the head. The ringlet left behind is small. Light chili prsence. The chocolate and some nuttiness dominate this medium bodied, smooth beer.
