Imperial chocolate Porter with Datil chili peppers. Silver Medalist at the 2018 World Beer Cup®, this dark & dastardly brew was inspired by the chocolatiers of St. Augustine, melding the hefty, habanero-like heat of Datil chili peppers, grown commercially in the city for a century, with rich cacao. The Ancient City is the chief cultivator of Datil peppers in the world, and this porter boasts roughly a pound of the fiery local delicacy per barrel. Bittersweet dark chocolate flavors courtesy of cacao complement the chili's natural fruity character in a uniquely Floridian blend of sweet-heat.

At the brewery in a flight.
I am glad it was just a taster. This chili porter is no joke. One of the hottest I had. But great flavor.
