Flavor is hot spice and coffee over smooth burnt malt. Seems to be treacle in it. Finishes pretty much that way. Nice.

750 ml bottle shared by bsuedekum- thanks again, Blake! Pours a pretty much opaque jet black color with a finger of fizzy dark tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, chipotle peppers, and mild smoke. Maybe a hint of anise. Flavor is led by pepper, with coffee, dark chocolate, dark fruits, and burnt toast. Medium-bodied, with a dry, spicy, roasty mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Interesting imperial stout, but didn’t match up to the Whiskey Rodeo.

Bottle from trade with kmyers8807, thanks!
Pitch black with a brown head leaving lacing.
Aroma: licorice, coffee + some used coffee grounds, fruity chili, wood.
Taste: dark chocolate, licorice, some smoke, hot chili, coffee. Hot chili returns again in the finish.
Full-bodied.
A nice chili stout, but I preferred Weasel Rodeo.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration. A dark black one with a medium sized creamy chocolate head. Roasted and black on the aroma, some spicy nuances and a hint of chocolate. It tastes roasted and chocolaty with a suiting calming burning spicy tone in the aftertaste. A hint of sour chocolate and strong espresso coffee as well that’s lingering in the finish and aftertaste. Geekilisiously tasty! 12.05.2012

Pour out of 750 mL, thanks Stephen! Dark black pour with tan head, aroma brought big notes of anise, coffee, slight vanilla, hints of vegetal from the chilies, hints of chocolate, more coffee, some dark fruits come through as well. Taste is a mix of dark fruit, smoky chilis, hints of vanilla, chocolate, coffee, slight anise in there, finishing fairly bitter, roasted, with a slight burn at the end. Pretty nice stuff, stout with chilis done well.

Bottle at the final Crooked Stave release of 2012. Pour is dark brown, almost black with a big brown head and good lacing. Coffee, roast, caramel, light peppers, potpourri, and bread in the aroma. Taste is roasty, big dark chocolate, coffee, toffee, caramel, cinnamon, and bread with a lightly spicy finish. Creamy mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Pretty good stuff and not a sign of alcohol in sight.

@ Mikkeller Bar: Mycket mörk kaffe, torr lång eftersmak, lite diskret havreton, fin balans med en liten hetta.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. The look is dark, black in color, has a nice big tan head. The smell is roasty, chocolate, slight chile pepper, and coffee. The taste is good similar to the taste but with the chile pepper taste coming through.

my least favorite of the 3 JK/Mikkeller stout collabs. This is good but was lacking compared to the other 2. smooth, oily, rich mouthfeel. moderate coffee melds well with roasted malts. chipotle seem muted compared to the others.
