341 ml bottle. Shared with my neighbour Kjetil. Brown color, off-white head. Sweet flavor, maybe with hints of pepper. Flavor is sweet and dry. The pepper appears after a few seconds, and stays in your mouth for a long while. WARNING! This must bed the last or anly beer in a tasting session; water cant kill the extremely peppery mothfeel, and every beers you taste after this one will taste less than they normally do.

on tap @ Dieu du Ciel. Pours a nice deep amber color. Peppery aroma with some malt presence. Taste is slightly malty then an intense pepper burn that lingers on your palate & the back of your throat for a while. It was definately a differt & strange aftereffect but I wanted more. Intersting beer

Bottle from puzzl on 3/28/08. Pours with a medium sized head that dissipate at a medium to fast pace, leaving a small ring around the glass. Theliquid is dark amber. The flavor has some spicy nutmeg and black pepper. A little caramelization, but very dry dry in general, especially with the warm tongue you get after drinking. Not that tasty, but fun to drink, because of the warm spiciness.

Pours a coppery amber with a small foamy beige head. Aroma of ground pepper, marijuana leaves, nutmeg, rye and a hint of ginger. Spicy taste of black pepper, rye, ginger, and nutmeg. Leaves a hot aftertaste, much like a jalapeno. Have water handy when drinking this.

Red-brown with a huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma has notes of freshly grinded black pepper and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and the same notes as the aroma, but also hints of cinnamon and nutmeg in the finish + a slightly burning, but pleasant sensation from the pepper. I thought it would be nice with food, but I found it stale and sweet - so I enjoyed it without food and liked it!

Bottle. Pours hazy ruby coppery with 2-finger off-white head. Nose is rye bread, heavily black peppery, with caraway, mild hops. The flavor contains a massive amount of freshly ground black peppery flavor, plus some jalapeno oils, to a degree that it actually kicks the palate in the ass a bit. Amazing! Also has rye bready malt, caraway, and some caramel flavors that balance the black/jalapeno peppery notes nicely, but the pepper is the true star here. This is one of the more unique beers I have ever quaffed, and I enjoyed it immensely. I love peppery aromas and flavors if done well, and I’d say this is done truly well. This beer matched a Rocky Patel maduro cigar like a hand matches a glove.

Bottle. Thanks to Theis for sharing. Pours a slightly havy amber color with a small off-white head. Fruity malty spicy aroma with some peppery hints. Malty spicy pepper flavor. Long malty pepper finish with a burning peooery aftertaste.

Bottled. Dark amber with a small, off-white head. Slightly nutty aroma, but the pepper is overwhelming both here and in the flavour. Some sweet maltiness hiding behind the pepper.
