January, 2018 beer is Mango Chili, with the ingredients Mango, habanero Chili, wheat and normal malt. Unfortunately, he doesn't put the regular ingredients individually, like which hops and malts were used, any more.
Aroma: Potent chili wafts up, some sweeter stuff like citrus and mango, basically a huge dose of Casade hops
Flavor: In the front, I get peppers, ever so slightly burning, sweet München malt candy-like sweetness and bitterness. This is habanero, not black pepper, I feel and taste. Yummy.
In the middle, it's more of the same but less peppery but more a burnt roasted pepper flavor mixed with a round flavor of the sweetness of a Märzen, yet more roasted.
In the back you get full on biting spiciness of the habanero with more round sweetness. I got a feeling he's added some smoked malt to give this round, full, flavor. The full drink gives way to more caramel some slight mango, but tasting more like the mango was roasted or baked until it caramelized, not at all a full on mango Lassi like flavor. Basically, if you love spicy foods, you'll say WOW WOW. The sweetness of the Münchner malt and mango is there but not overly caramel. I'm guessing he may have taken his base recipe, which is something like 40% Münchner, 5-7% Rauch (smoked) and the rest Pilsner malts, added habaneros and mangos to the boil and viola, a super wonderful beer. The chilis burn ever-so-slightly (yeah!) and predominate, but don't overpower. The underlying malts still shine through and mix perfectly. However, had I brewed this, added some pale malts instead of maybe pilsner to add some toasty sweetness. Yet.... a very strong chili beer but in no way overdone.
Mouthfeel: Goldilocks range, but often his ales tend to lean towards the thin side, and as Jack H. may or may not still remember, I prefer a thicker mouthfeel. Nevertheless, that's basically the only minus in my book.
Aftertaste: lots of chili, a slight burn, sweet caramel.
Overall: lots to love about this beer, but I hate to say that due to the punch and aftertaste of chilis, not one to drink too often. Also, did I mention it's 9.9%! One can't taste the high alcohol at all, it's so well hidden and balanced, but after a full 0.3 L... my head feels it.
