Pours dark black with a aroma of peppers and roast. Taste is tart and roasty. The peppers shine forth. Tart yet spicy. Interesting. Not bad.

Bottled provided by jale. Thanks, Jim!
Pours a very dark brown color with a half-finger of mocha head and a few bubbles on top as it goes down. The nose brought a lot of roast character and coffee. Nothing too extreme, but it worked out quite well.
The flavor added in a few other components, with the chipotle becoming present here along with a touch of chocolate. The roast character is still prominent along with the coffee. The feel is where the chipotle really comes in, bringing a spicy note that I didn’t really feel complemented the all flavors all that well in its extremity. Toning it down a bit would definitely help blend the flavors quite a bit more.

Bottle thanks to Jale...Pours an ugly dark brown, amber hints. Light tan head doesn’t show me much...Aroma of chocolate, and a little chipotle heat, not much going on...The taste is just wrong, this is more of the aroma but not a good combination for some reason. I didn’t drink much of this, nor did the 7 other of us as there was still half a bottle left at the end of the night.
Don’t bother.

on tap @ slow bbq. this is much better than arbor’s regular espresso love, which i think tastes like crap. a bit thin, just like the regular love, but much tastier. the peppery taste is certainly present. not something i’d want again, but it was decent.

Sampled at the MiBGSF ’10. Poured black with brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had a strong espresso note with the bourbon underlying and just a bit of spice and vanilla. Flavor doesn’t have much bourbon, but espresso melded with some chocolate and the chipotle adds a bit of a kick for a nice flavor.
