Evil Twin / Jackie O's You're in the Jungle Baby!
Inspired by a mind blowing dessert created by a Nordic eatery that popped up in the middle of the Mexican jungle. Pasilla mixe chiles, honey, cocoa nibs and tangerine peel. It’s wild. Oh yeah, baby.

Deep brown pour, small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, honey, roast, spice, fruit. Taste follows. Certain plenty of chocolate, and the honey sweetness and chili spice too, with some tangerine notes. Would have preferred it without the honey. Maybe a bit thin but long sticky finish.
Black with a fairly tall brown head. Decent lacing. Aroma: Dark chocolate, liqourice, roasted malt and coffee. Taste is bitter chocolate and liqourice with a tiny bit of heat from the chili. Thick mouthfeel.
12 oz. can. Pours a medium, well retained, beige head, with moderate lacing, over a clear dark brown (SRM 35) body......nose is roasted malts with cocoa, chocolate, coffee, caramel, licorice, citrus fruit notes, slight herbal hop tones, balance to the malts.......taste is roasted malts with cocoa, coffee, caramel tones, honey notes without sweetness, moderate chili notes, dry throughout, moderate hop bitter finish, malts dominant.....mouth feel, medium body, mild alcohol warmth, mild carbonation. The very high alcohol is quite hidden by malts The aroma and taste are moderately simple given the many ingredients. It is drinkable, but not the superb complexity of the style of Imperial Stout.
355 ml can ordered online from the LCBO. Pours a very dark brown colour with modest-sized light tan head. Aroma is licorice, chilli, roast and cocoa. Flavour has overwhelming chilli heat, some roast and cocoa as well as licorice. Lingering chilli heat. Way too much chilli!
Black colour. Brown head, three fingers, short retention. 10 seconds and the head is gone, as fast as a Coca-Cola. You can hear the same sound when the little bubbles disappear. Dirties the glass. When the head is gone, you can see the oils at the top of the black. Difficult to see the carbonation because of the darkness. Oily texture with little fizz. Aroma is spicy, sweet. Caramel, honey, chili, weird spice note. Taste is chili, weird spices, caramel, honey, roots. Traces of cedar wood or something like that. Sweet. Soft bitterness at the end. Lingering spicy note in afertaste. Alcohol well integrated. It's wild and stupid, oh, yeah, baby! Weird and the opposite of quaffable, almost disgusting. Incomprehensible brew; the price is offensive. Two sips of this pandemonium are enough.
Aroma: Medium-high coffee, roasty, Medium vanilla, leather. Medium-light molasses, licorice.
Appearance: Small to Massive bubbles. Low retention. Opaque black body.
Flavour: Medium-high pepper/chili (no heat). Medium licorice, Medium-high bitterness. Dry finish with licorice.
Mouthfeel: Light warming. Medium-full body. Medium-low carbonation
Overall: The chili present on first sip, but otherwise little. A nice beer. Fair spice notes
355 ml can, poured.
Fruit/Spice beer (chili)
20C. Imperial Stout
Canette 33cl. Nez de malt torréfié, chocolat, fruits secs. Bouche surprenante, très agressive, vraiment très épicée/chili, haricot mexicain et ... peut-être du chocolat. Malheureusement, cette caractéristique épicée nuit à l'appréciation de l'ensemble : si j'en bois une deuxième maintenant, je sens que je vais faire ré-ouvrir mon ulcère!
(nez étrange (poivron grillé, etc.), onctueuse, robuste question hop, malt grillé et pelures, pas miel/cacao)
Can. Aroma.of roasted malt , caramel, cacao, chili and orange peel. Heavy sweet and bitter with lingering orange peel notes. Full and sticky. Descent.
Can. It pours jet black with a creamy beige head. The aroma is peppery, herbal with notes of oranges and light roast. Little spice. Some licorice. The flavor is quite bitter and moderate sweet. Light chili burn. Roasted and herbal notes into the far finish.
Can. Dark brown, brown foam. Aroma: mandarin and chilies, syrup, honey and cocoa, a bit of strong alcohol, caramel and pies. Taste: strong, warming, chili, candied mandarins, berry jam, cocoa, slightly bitter chocolate, bitter finish, wery warming.
Oily black pour with almost no head. Aroma of dark roasted malts, dark chocolate and hints of honey. Flavour is chocolate, coffee as well as hints of tangerine peel. Not much honey or chilli. Average.
Sweetish more than the heat, a decent drink to have once. Can from Premier Gourmet. No alcohol felt until finishing the can.
Lata 33 CL en el Lupulo Feroz Oviedo 28..12..2018. (r161).
Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco tiempo casi por completo.
Sabores intensos maltosos tostados con buena dosis de especiados, suaves cacaos y final ligeramente picante terrosos de chiles. Cierto dulzor.
Cuerpo medio con bastante sabor con suave a Margo final algo seco.
Bastante buena para repetir.
CIemna, nieprzejrzysta barwa, piana obfita, ale trochę szamponowa i szybko opada. W aromacie czekolada, kakao, chili, już aromat zapowiada ostrość. W smaku ostrość nie przykrywa innych smaków. Jest przyjemne kakao, kawa, kwaśność, Bardzo przyjemna struktura - leista, ale ciała brakuje. Później zbyt mocno też przebija się ta ostrość z papryczki.
2018/12/22 - Pours a black motor oil colour with a frothy, dark brown head that slowly reduces and leaves ample lacing. Aroma is toasted malts, coffee, vegetal chili, tangerine and dark cocoa. Taste is dark cocoa, lots of chili, toasted malt and roasted coffee. Mouthfeel is medium to full and oily with soft carbonation and a drying, light chili burn finish. Pretty good, but I think it would have been better if the chili was a little less prominent.
Can. Pours a black colour with a medium tan head. Aroma of coffee, tangerine peel, some cacao, chilli and subtle earth. Taste of chilli heat, earth, some smoke, slight coffee, cacao, a touch of honey and subtle orange. Full bodied and moderate carbonation. A sweetish, chocolate and chilli heat finish. TOO MUCH CHILLI! Burnt my mouth for ages so flavours described are what I got mainly in the aftertaste. A touch of honey sweetness but not enough. Couldn’t finish.
The description explains the aroma. Honey, cocoa, tangerine, not really getting any chilies. Black, bubbly with a dark brown head. Tastes of heavy roast, some coffee/cocoa flavors with light honey and tangerine in the aftertaste. Good but too bitter. May taste better with some age. Palate is smooth but could use more heft. ABV well hidden.
Can. Jet black with small, tan but not very solid head and some lacing. Medium aromas of cocoa, dar chocolate and a bit of coffee. Taste is spicy like hell, with a bit tart and ashy finish. Interesting, a bit tiring but exactly as promised.
Enjoined from a can at home. Big bubbly head . Very dark and pretty in color. Orange peel and chili in aroma. Too bad I can't find them in taste. Taste is medium bodied, rich in coffee and little chocolate. Missing some depth in aftertaste. A nice beer but I expected more.
During Black Christmas 2018. Very dark brown. Some fruits and roasted malt. Ink notes. Pretty good.
Burk krokius . Ja detta en kraftig udda imp Stout. Där peppar och chili smiter igenom choklad och kaffesmaken som är så vanlig i denna ölstil. God imp Stout men njae inte den bästa balanserade blandningen . Den får i skrivande stund 80 poäng på ratebeer och jag tycker den är precis där. Mååånga bättre finns
Burk på Muris. Härlig tung saltmättad o ändå något söt doft hur det nu går ihop. Så tar jag första klunken o munnen fylls med annorlunda men skönt balanserade goa smaker. Syrligt choklad toner av chili med andra en gp blandning. En mycket annorlunda trevlig imp.stout.
Bought online from the LCBO, this was my third tasting from our gathering last Friday. I was afraid of this one as it contains some chilli, but this beer is not spicy at all, just like a good Thai meal. Complex, well-balanced and amazingly tasty. Well done.
Appearance: Deep brown black. finger of tan foam.
Nose: Rich chocolate. Deep roasted cocoa. Strong coconut hints.
Taste: Sweet dark chocolate, coconut, touches of chili heat. Sweet malt.
Body: Fuller and smooth. Soft bubbles
Parting thoughts: A pretty complex and powerful flavor palate. A lot going on. essentially chocolate coconut with just a little spice mixed in for fun. Hefty. Feels every bit of it’s ABV. Price point is a bit imposing, however.
0,355l can shared @ Malja. Pours very dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet roasted malts with some coffee, cacao nibs, perhaps some chili. Flavor is sweet roasted malts, coffee, cacao, chili, hops. Very good.
12 fl oz can. Appearance of the pour is a dark brown black with one finger of tan froth, which dissipates to almost nothing quite quickly. Aroma is rich dark chocolates, some roasted malt. Taste is sweet, as described on the blurb, mainly cocoa and chocolate flavours. The honey and tangerine peel is not obvious, unfortunately. The chillin burn lightly at the back of the throat, almost like an alcohol burn. Great, smooth, rich mouthfeel.
Bottle. Opaque black with bubbly brownish head. The aroma has notes of chocolate, can, alcohol, a bit "green", chili, earthy. The flavor is mild bitter with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, roast, chili, a bit hot, alcohol, "green". Full-bodied.
Sampled at Ace & Kees festival. Very dark brown with dark beige head. Molasses, chili 🔥, earthy chilies, cocoa, licorice, roast, some coffee. Medium sweet and over medium bitter. Over medium bodied with lots of chili heat. Way too hot.
Sampled at Ace&Kees. Pours black with a tan head. Quite a chilli burn, vegetal peppers, roasted malts, cocoa, molasses. Bit heavy on the pepper.
