[cask at the Bow Bar, Edinburgh] Deep, dark, purplish red beer with a large, off-white head. Aroma is bittersweet, with some stone fruit and a whiff of the black pepper about it. On the taste, some slight flashes of sweet plums, damsons, or other similar fruits, before the chilli bitterness arrives on the finish. Not so much a chilli kick, more a slight prod with the boot. Still, it comes together quite well and is certainly interesting [07052013]

Cask conditioned at Fleetwood Beer Fest ’13. Brown with cream head. It does what it says in the title, sweetish fruitiness and a slight chilli prickle behind it. Little else but it’s ok.

On tap at the Rake. Cloudy brown beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, low carbonation. Fair bit of malt with subtle chocolate. Nice fruits on the back end but they clash a little with the bitter orange hop at the end. Very mild chilli. Mild bitter aftertaste. Interesting beer but could be a lot clearer and fresher.

Nice rich flavoured beer. 6.1% first impressions you’d think it would strong to the taste and with the Chilli ay little over powering but on the contry i found this beer to be pleasently light on the strength but very heavy & full in flavour. I failed to notice the plum flavor to it however i did get the suttle kick of chilli at the end. Had it more than once as it was very welcoming. Drank this in The Wellington Birmingham.

Dark brown coloured beer with. Weak off white head. Slightly sweet chocolatey malt aroma. Bittersweet mouthfeel, sweet chocolate malt again, some resinous fruitiness in the background. There is a tingly spice in the finish that suggests some chilli content. Tasted at the Wellington, Birmingham.
