Draught at brewpub. Great looking beer. Malty aroma with a rubbing alcohol note. Flavour is alcohol with a little malt. Not much of a finish. This beer tastes a lot like whisky.

Pours red brown. Some strong malt taste that is quickly overwhelmed by a big hit of pepper. Strong and spicy.

Faint maltiness on the nose. Clear, dark golden with orange highlights. Pepper heat starts and influences the rest of the flavor; moderate bitterness. Medium light mouthfeel. An interesting beer. The pepper heat is noticeable, but not over the top. Adds more to the flavor than actual spiciness.

Tap @ Breakside... Poured clear, golden with a white head. Lots of honey sweetness, toasty grain quality, herbal, mild heat. Super well balanced. Like drinking a sugar cereal with some spice in the finish.
