Pours amber brown with an off white head. Aroma is light and caramel malts, with hints of peppery spices. Flavor is smooth and malty to start out with, with a finish of pepper, that gets spicier on the finish, and starts to get real peppery after a few drinks, glad I only had a small sample at the time, it is good, but really needs food or something else to go with it.

Growler sample from Party Town on 01/09/2009. Poured hazy brown color with an average off-white frothy head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate spice and malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Warm hot pepper and small bittersweet flavor and medium hot finish of moderate duration. Interesting and my expectations were met.

Pours amber with a mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of caramel, bready malt, perhaps a hint of the spice. Taste is quite spicy, but not too intense. Caramel and bread notes provide a bit of balance. Medium bodied with lively carbonation, and a lingering spicy aftertaste. This was a well done for a style I don’t usually enjoy.
