Pours dark brown to black with fluffy tan head. Smell hints of chocolate and pepper. Tastes of chocolate (standard for porters) and has a hint of pepper at the end. Medium-bodied with a slick, smooth and soft mouth-carbonation, Left Hand Fade to Black Volume 3: Pepper Porter finishes with some pepperiness that lingers a while.

The color is perfect and the fragrance promises lots of smoked chiles. There is a lot more depth to the flavor than just chiles, though. There’s bittersweet chocolate, anise, and the smoky chiles.
There is some subtle heat, and at just a touch under 2000 Scoville units, that puts it at about the same as a poblano. It’s just enough that you know it’s got chiles in it.
Smooth, complex, drinkable, and just enough heat to have you know this is something unique.

Sexy nose of smoked chipotle peppers and brown sugar. Jet black, thin tan mocha head. Robust, dense, smoky, hints of heat. Chewy burnt backbone, creamy texture, all around awesome. What a great time for beer!

Nice milky malty smell, appearance is pitch black with a thin fading head. Taste is a nice smokey malted at first in back of throat fades into a mild burn. Almost like drinking a nice burger with hot peppers on it. I drank alone, it was really awesome. With a good burger this would be phenominal.

Pours black with a bit of light brown head (just like in the photo). Aroma has some java notes on top of a bit of dark fruit and licorice. Taste is sweet and smoky with some roasted malt flavors and even a bit of hazelnut. This beer is very smooth but not without a bit of peppery bite. Awesome beer
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Black with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty, some licorice in the nose. Flavor is also fairly sweet licorice malt. However, the pepper kicks in underneath the sweetness to provide a pleasant afterburn. Great beer, much better than others I’ve had with pepper as a component. Great companion for food with a sweet and spicy component.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
A black beer with a weak, but beautiful, brown head. Aroma is temptating and succesfull, lots of chocolate, nice roastiness, some salt liquirice. Taste is succesfull and similar than aroma, balanced roastiness with sweetness, chocolate, liquirice, interesting and balanced chilis in the aftertaste, chili’s burning nuancees fitts nicely this beer and aftertaste is salt liquirice and very long. Medium+ bodied, very smooth and enjoyable to drink. Great beer, balanced use of chilis gives more added value.
