Wow this is quite a unique beer. The chiles, cinnamon, red wine all combine to make one fun beverage. I do enjoy this more than the regular 11-11-11. Some caramel and toffee notes, toasted grain. A bit of tartness. Cool stuff.

Big thanks to Sparky for sharing this. It pours hazy copper with a gold edges and a thin light tan head. The aroma has spicy white oak, mild red wine notes and then faint coriander and clove and just a dash of anise like spiciness. The taste has an odd mix of malt sweetness and dry red wine that has a Sangria wine sort of sensation. In the background are mild spiciness noted in the nose. Very interesting mix of flavors that work pretty well for me.
