Decent beer. Something was off with the Jalapeño flavor, I typically really enjoy this type of beer. It was good, but not great.

Thoroughly enjoyed from the growler via the brewery in a snifter. This fine stout pours a THICK rich black with a deep brown head of foam that subsides to a thick ring, thick pool, and excellent lacing. Nose of roasted jalapenos, bakers cocoa, and coffee. Flavors exceed the nose with rich bakers chocolate and deeply roasted coffee with spicy jalapenos on the front and middle of the taste, subtle notes of char and cream come through on the back along with warming booze (of note, this version is 11.3 percent and NOT 8.6). Nice mouth feel, coating and full, with light carbonation and a spicy cocoa finish. Excellent.

Cincy's own version of Prairie Bomb. Nice.

A stout with chili peppers has a ton of potential, in my opinion. This one was good, but I wouldn't classify it was great. Sure, you could taste the chili peppers, but nothing about the beer really stood out to me. It was just an okay stout with a little capsaicin heat, and that was all.

On tap at incline public house, good and roasty with a nice peppery kick. Dark chocolate, heat, spice...a damn good beer.
