2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle @ Fenwick, Newcastle.
Appearance - Massive large head that quickly dissipate to nothing. Apperance of flat chestnut brown tea. Poor.
Aroma - Caramel malts....chilli heat...some fruity esters...no hops.
Taste - Caramel malt....fruity malt...hint of earthy hops...chilli...bit of smoke.
Palate - Sweet malts then big chilli burn finish. Simple. Almost no carbonation. Thin mouthfeel.
Overall - Just a novelty beer and not a good one. A substandard thin malty beer with lots of chilli. That’s it.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A nice tasting unique beer. As with other comments the main taste of the beer comes across as watery but has a nice taste to it. The chilli hits the back of the throat which is rather pleasant.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask Stillage at the Community Centre, Frodsham 10/04/2010
Some malt aroma. Amber coloured and fruity with a little dryness in a peppery lasting malt finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Cask @ 3 Judges. Dark copper colour, off-white head. Aroma is bread. Flavour is bready, mild chili, malty, luckily soft on palate. Still quite unpleasant. Dry and bready finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask conditioned at The Hotel du Vin, Birmingham. Red to amber with no head. Quite thin on the palate, but the spicy heat definitely comes through which is a bit weird for beer. Once that is in the mouth nothing else comes through.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle, Rehills, Newcastle. Little in the way of aroma, but a pleasant enough spicy tingle, that lingers gently on the throat. Not much else to the beer, unfortunately, I found it a bit thin and watery. I go along with the earthy description, but would almost veer into musty. Russett brown appearance, thin, off-white head. A bit disappointing.
