Appearance - Pours dark plum color with decent tan head that dissipates very quickly leaving no lacing and head.

Aroma - My first whiff I get plum, raisin, rum, oak. The peppers are coming out as it warms, not really picking up any toasted coconut but the other aromas are pretty strong.

Taste - Taste is money the toasted coconut comes in very lightly at the beginning. The peppers are very strong in the middle and finish, there is no sign of alcohol but the peppers make up for it. The dark fruit and oak all come out at the beginning as the peppers take over on the finish.

Feel - Medium bodied smooth creamy up front with a ton of heat from the peppers that lingers.

Overall - A very well done quad, great flavors heat is strong but not overly strong to black the other flavors up front.
