Not a bad stout. Pours a dark chocolate color and leaves a brownish head. Has an aroma of chocolate and coffee with a hint of spice. Taste is much the same. An initial kick of spice due to the chipotle followed by notes of chocolate and coffee.

Gorgeous color in the glass. Chocolate, coffee and toasted malt on the nose and palate. However, what I love about this beer is its elusive heat from the chipotle. Serve this beer too cold and you'll miss out on the spice, but let it warm up just a little, and you will be in chipotle heaven: not so spicy that it limits its audience, but definitely a beer any hot sauce aficionado would love.

Pours a deep black color with coffee and spice aroma. Taste is spicy because the chipotle pepper comes through. After the swallow, a mild coffe taste that seems to be overpowered by the spicyness. A different type of beer that was overall okay.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Scopey (3380) - Croydon, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 8, 2013
Bottle at CGarvie tasting. Bit of a gusher! It pours very dark brown with a quickly dissipating head. The nose is roasted malt, mellow caramel, vanilla, toasted coconut, chocolate, mild coffee, wood and bourbon. The taste is roasted malt, spice, earth, caramel, touch chilli pepper, cracked black pepper, light bitterness, bourbon, vanilla and warming alcohol. Medium-full body, fine carbonation and sticky mouth-feel. Mellow and fairly well-balanced.

This lightly carbonated deep black color beer has a strong coffee aroma. The coffee is well balanced but the chipotle which adds a very interesting layer to this beer.

Bottle @ home via trade with OCBeerSociety. Thanks! Pours a black appearance with a thin brown head. Moderately spicy chili pepper, light veggie, toasty malty, coffee, chocolate aroma with a fair amount of spiciness that tickles the nose. A bit chewy malty, cocoa, roasty malty, slightly spicy, pepper, bitter coffee flavor with some spiciness on the finish. Kind of fun but I’m not positive that I enjoy the coffee element.
