16oz draft pour into a pint glass shows a bubbly dark brown body briefly floats a 1" cocoa brown head leaving no lacing.

Aroma is an almost metallic ale carbonation.

Flavor is almost exclusively chili heat with a little caramel malt.

Mouthfeel is light and nimble, clean and numbing from the chili.

Overall I was surprised by the heat, but it is clearly well made.

A - Brown with a reddish hue. No lacing and little to no head from an aggressive pour

S - Hops and ancho chile

T - Hoppy initial taste with a peppery finish

F - Becomes toasty as the beer warms with a bitter coating

O - A good beer in the style, but not a style I usually look for. Would buy again if I'm in the mood for ancho chile

Unknown vintage; drank 7/11/14 @ the Yarchives.

Poured from a bottle into a glass.

Brown/red murkiness.

Khaki head; minimal lace.

Brown sugar & mild spice heat in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Mild coffee & hint of banana up front, with a touch of pepper heat on the finish. A nice enough dark session beer.

7/19...pours dark brown, fast fizzy bubbles, no foam on top. Dark malty nose, caramels, smoky. Slight peppery spice. Taste is a light sweet malt which swings swiftly to an ancho spice burn. Kept in check, but a nice smooth burn. Milk chocolate sweetness in the background. Very interesting.

Creamy tan head over nigh-on-black liquid. Head doesn't last or leave any lace, though.
Smell is mostly cocoa butter with a hint of wood.
Taste is roasted malt, cocoa butter, light peppery spice.
Lightish body and carbonation. Spice comes out a tic more after the swallow. A different brew to be certain but I like it.
