After seeing this beer on tap on Olde Peninsula's twitter feed @OPBrewerDan I really wanted to give this a try. The description on their page is: @ #OP! #Habanero, #Maple, #Walnut, #Vanilla, #Coffee #Porter & #BACON!

I was told by our bartender the beer is basically a 50-50 mix of their Pancake Porter and their Habanero beer (forgive me for not remembering the actual name of this beer). The beer is served in a tulip glass and garnished with a piece of bacon (very cool!).

The look of this beer was probably the coolest that I've experienced. The beer poured dark brown/black with a nice tan head. With the bacon garnishment, this one was presented in a great way. I could smell maple/bacon/coffee/habanero when putting the glass to my nose. All of the flavors I could smell were tasted upon the first sampling, with the habanero having a slightly overwhelming finish. If you don't like heat/spice, this one may not be for you because of the pronounced heat at the end.

I came here tonight because of this beer; the few habanero beers that I've had have really impressed me (not a flavor I expect to taste in a beer, but one I appreciate). It's not the type of beer that I could drink more than one in a setting, but if this one is on tap again, I will definitely be having another glass.
