    I'm looking to have a stout tasting where all the stouts have chili pepper in them. Here's the line up:

    Mexican Cake
    Hunahpu
    2011 Bourbon Dark Lord de Muerte
    2012 Cognac Dark Lord de Muerte
    2013 Bourbon Dark Lord de Muerte
    End of Days
    Imperial Biscotti Break

    What are some other recommendations that would fit in with this group?

    I don't think regular Imperial Biscotti Break has chilis in it. I think that's only the Decicco's version

    If you're actually looking to get the chili flavor then the BA versions of some of/most of the above beers lose all their chili heat after sitting in barrels for so long. I didn't get any chili heat or flavor out of any of the BA Hunas or BA Abraxas.

    But yes, Bomb! is most excellent. That should definitely be added.

    ya it's kinda sad. i opened the cali huna and thought regular huna was better. still a great stout but like you said, the barrel takes over the amazing flavors in that stout

    Huna is all you need! Chocolate Sombrero had too much cinnamon for me. But easy enough to find for a quick tasting fill in.

    BA Mexican cake was dry hopped with chili's after time in the barrel to retain the heat.

    I'll second Bomb. Three people chose it as the best in a blind test that included Huna and Cake (reg.). Mouthfeel preferences varied slightly, but it definitely has the best aroma of the three.

    I forget right now which Stone's Vertical series had some chilil peppers in it, but it was nice a bit of heat but not too much. Founders Mango Mangifico has Habanero peppers, but they are offset with a bit too much fruit.
    Clown Shoes Sombero has a little heat..

    As far as the poster with Dave's Insanity Sauce. Sure that is damn hot, but honestly where is the flavour? I am a big fan of hot peppers, but they have to have taste. I wouldn't even dare to add that to any list of food/beer with peppers.

    I just recently tasted Ghost Chile Peppers... They put Habanero to shame in scoville chart, but they had a lot of taste. I dont think you will find a beer with those.
