    Mango Magnifico (ymmv but I loved the beer), Oddside's Mayan Mocha, New Belgiums Cocoa Mole, and the beers I don't think I've any one mention but the 11' Terrapin & Schmaltz Reunion collaboration.

    BA Abraxas was god-tier. Hunapuh's was not nearly as good, but nevertheless excellently crafted.
    Gotta try that Pipeworks End of the World stout thingy one of these days...

    I'm for 'em. Definitely not a flavor I want cropping up in all my beer, but it can be marvelous if done well.

    Usually not a fan, even though IPAs and spicy foods are like peanut butter and jelly. Hunahpu is a brilliant example, but the chile is so mild I don't really think of it as a "chile beer." Habanero Sculpin was gross IMO.

    I have had three, CCB Hunahpu, Founders Mango Magnifico, and Oddside Mayan Mocha Stout. It was subtle enough in the Hunahpu I don't think it added or detracted from the beer itself. It ruined Mango Magnifico in my opinion as it was entirely overbearing. Mayan Mocha Stout from Oddside seems to have found an excellent balance and it adds to the overall complexity of an already enjoyable beverage.

    Flat 12 has a Hefeweizen with Ghost Peppers and a Saison with some sort of pepper extract. I thought both were interesting.

    Also, Prairie Bomb is absolutely fantastic.

    Had Huna and Mexican Cake tonight. Had Bomb! a few days ago. My first experience with any pepper stout was terrible in the long long ago of my palate. Now I am looking forward to a few Pirate and BA Abraxas. I am starting to love the style. The pepper resembles the burn I like from a heavy BA stout.

    I certainly love to try one now if I could find one. I too loved what the peppers did for that beer. Fit very well.

    Best chili pepper beer I've had if I could keep it in stock my own Habanero Chocolate Stout. Was a hit at Darkness Day Bottle share this year. Going to brew up my third batch soon and I swear will be the best yet with the feedback I've gotten and this batch is drinking amazing right now.
