Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is very mild with some chocolate. I didn’t really smell or taste the pepper that was supposed to be there. Reminded me of a watered down version of their vanilla porter without the vanilla.

[Tap] Part of a sampler at Lazlo’s in Omaha. Tawny brown pour with a few wisps of off white head. The nose is malty and spicy, with light but crisp hops. Pepper is very prominent in the taste. Spicy and roasty. Molasses and toffee linger in the finish. The only disappointing thing was the thin body. Still a pretty unique brew.
