On cask at The Bruery, this is Black Orchard brewed with roasted cacao, roasted and dried poblano chiles, and cinnamon (from the blog),
A: Pours black with a smattering of bubbles, ominous colour, cool looking.
S: Great heavy chile smell. Big capsaicin. Just a great smell of cinnammon, and chile spice, a concentrated smell in a cask beer. The intensity of the scent reminded me of Partridge in a Spice Tree, though the noses of those two beers are quite different.
T: Notes of chocolate and roasted barley with a hint of ale ester form the flavours of the base beer. The chiles and heat are noticable, but not as brunt as I thought from the nose, which I liked since I didn't want to feel the heat burn as I drank the beer. All around good flavours, paired well with the Mexican food they were giving out. As close to mole sauce in a beer that I have found, though a little more dark chocolate would have made it a little better, but still I can't complain much.
M: Cask mouthfeel is light, but the heat and spice bring some character to the mouthfeel. Not a lot of heat as I mentioned earlier, has an oily finish with a bit of burn.
D: I was looking forward to trying this one and I quite enjoyed it. I'm glad that they're experimenting with non-traditional ingredients, it keeps me wondering what they are going to do next.
