(draught) pours black in colour, with a frothy light beige head. aroma of roasted malts, red peppers and toasted bread, with a hint of peaches and vanilla. flavour is dominated by chilli, with underlying notes of roasted malt, light caramel, dark chocolate and herbal hops. medium-bodied with soft carbonation.

Draft at the Arendsnest 12.5 year event. Pours very dark brown with a tan head. Aroma of fairly strong chilli peppers, behind the intense chilli is subdued roasted notes and chocolate, maybe some fruit. Mouthfeel is dominated by the chilli as well, with an initial burn going into a long hot finish that warms the back of your throat and gradually burns your lips more and more as you drink it, like enjoying a good curry. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Lovely, challenging beer!
