4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a transparent golden brown, no head. Sparse carbonation. Aroma: Super peppery. Hints of rye, but the overwhelming smell is peppercorn. Palate: Medium bodied. Smooth and creamy. Nice finish - tiny hint of dryness. Taste: Sweet and spicy. The beer feels sweet like a caramel, and the pepper adds some awesome spice to it. Nice freakin’ beer.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle from King&Godfree. Delicious spicy beer. Aromas of chocolate, apple, ginger, and anisette. Taste is sweet, with long length. Palate is velvety and spicy hot, with a medium body. Amber, with a frothy and lacy head.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 oz bottle from total wine in Gilbert, AZ.
Deep copper, with a tan head and nice lace.
Aroma is caramel malt laced with green peppercorn.
Flavor is sweet caramel, light chocolate, and warming, spicy pepper.
Pepper builds with each sip, and remains long into the finish.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
341ml bottle pours a reddish brown color with a small off-white head that left some decent lacing on the glass. Aroma is peppers with hints of caramel and chocolate. Taste is very malty sweet with a definite peppery note and a hint of dark fruits and a mild hoppy bitter finish. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. This is a unique beer and certainly worth trying at least once.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice clear brown with a healthy head. Aroma is some caramelly sweetness with (surprise!) pepper. Taste is good; a taste which I can only assume is "rye" up front, leading into a suprisingly peppery finish. The pepper leaves a burning sensation on the back of your throat after a few sips. Really nice; makes me wonder why there aren’t more beers like this.
2.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
Somewhat cloudy amber with off-white head. Nose of black/white peppers, honey, touch of clove. Some initial sweetness, with good malt base eventually leads to somewhat intense pepper and spice. Spice lasts. Not very enjoyable.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle@barVolo. Pours a dark amber with a dissipating white head. Smells of malt and pepper. Tastes very dry with a bitterness and spice in the aftertaste. It actually gets slightly spicy as you go on. My initial thought was "meh", but it grew on me quite a bit.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
341 ml bottle. Pours a hazy brown with a thin white head. Taste is not very pronounced, a bit of caramel, a bit malty. Quite easy drinking, could have a few of them in a row. Extremely interesting pepper finish - just perfect, not too hot, not too subtle. Definitely a great spice beer.
