    I absolutely love this beer. I always buy two bottles: one to drink and one for a batch of chili!

    Ghost Face Killah is a great beer if you can get past the initial heat. Everyone has a different tolerance for heat. Mine is pretty high. I love the smokiness of the ghost pepper that comes through in that beer. You also get a little fruitiness from the habaneros too.

    It may have already been said but flying dog is back in MN and they have a new "Heat Series"... The mango habanero IPA and ancho chile lime lager were both excellent IMO.

    Avery's Xolotl is hitting shelves in the metro area and is worth seeking out in my opinion.

    The variation in taste buds never ceases to astound me. I love spicy food, etc. but I am still, at times, haunted by my taste of ghost face killah.
     
    Fubez311 and 12tb like this.

    I hate the Ghost chile. It tastes like rotting garbage, then the unrelenting heat just builds and builds until you hate life. Habanero is just ambrosia with its tropical flavors and sweet heat.
