A: Black with a quickly dissipating fizzy head to a point where there is absolutely no head--looks like a cola in that respect; lacing is non-existent
S: Lots of spices up front--smells like a pumpkin pie and then comes the pepper--sweet and spicy; some roasted chocolate malts but mostly a ton of pepper and autumnal spices
T: The pepper is subtle but it plays well off the sweet chocolatey malts; the spices are also much more subdued than I would have thought--based off the aroma profile; this is balanced up front but unfortunately the sweetness becomes almost overpowering toward the finish--cloying actually
F: A touch thin and undercarbonated but the pepper and chocolate provide a chalky and sticky presence that more than makes up for it
O: What a strange, interesting beer; it looks like "still" cola but it sure tastes different; I like elements of a lot of this beer and I hate elements of a little bit of this beer; hmmm

(From old, undated notes)
Dark brown/light black liquid; some light passes 'round the edges.
Small head which quickly dissipates; very light lacing.
Nose of light peppers and cream. Interesting.
Medium mouthfeel; bordering on thin.
Cinnamon up front; slight pepper on the back end.
Far from too hot though, this is a nice drink. More pepper in the nose than the tongue, which is a nice move. Great cinnamon vibe elevates this.

Poured into a chalice a pretty nice dark brown color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy/foamy one-finger plus tan head, which leaves some sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, with a touch of chocolate/cocoa, vanilla, chili peppers, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, clove. The taste is malty, with some chocolate/cocoa, vanilla, chili peppers, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, clove. Medium body, ABV is hidden nicely, with a little dry/bitter finish. Overall, a tasty brew.

Heavily carbonated up front but fades QUICK, turning it into an underwhelming soupy mess.
Smells great but doesn't live up to the cool label or name.

Black liquid, tan head, over half an inch. Aroma wasn't spicy, was more spice rack. Kinda felt like a blend of belgian cola.
Eeek, more spice rack and cola in the taste. Wore me down. Where is the mole? This beer should be served in 1oz tasters only.
