Poured from 330mL can into my Belvárosi sörfesztivál tulip. Best by 6/28/25.
Appearance: rich brown, nearly black, hue, with a finger of frothy dark-tan foam atop.
Smell: rich, sweet, chocolately malt, with a nice infusion of chilies and cinnamon. It's awfully darn sweet for a 7% beer, though; this smells like a 12% pastry bomb.
Taste: sweet, but not as sweet as the aroma suggested, and nicely balanced with a heavy-duty roasted malt character. The vanilla is present, but (thankfully) mild, the cinnamon comes through, and the chilies add just a smidgen of heat at the end. A well-composed chili-chocolate stout.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good carbonation and creaminess. I like it, but honestly would love it just a little bit smoother!
Overall: actually a pretty darn decent example of a chili-chocolate-cinnamon-vanilla stout. Kinda sweet for its ABV, but still, eminently sippable.
