A: The pour is just about as black as you can get with a massive brown head that displays excellent retention and sticky lacing. S: This is supposed to be a chile beer, but I don’t get very much chile aroma out of it. Perhaps a touch of earthiness, but there is more of a black pepper aroma than anything. A big time banana smell is also present. T: The banana flavor and sweetness really dominate the beer, but I don’t find that to be a bad thing. I don’t get much chile on the palate either: just a hint of warmth to it. A moderate roastiness and perhaps some vanilla. M: Medium in body with a moderate level of carbonaiton. O: Although there wasn’t much chile flavor/character here, the beer was quite nice.

On draft at provisions. Dark cola brown pour tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, and peppers. Taste is brown sugar, cocoa, coffe with a nice strong pepper finish.
