Decadence
I was pretty disappointed in this one. First thing I noticed was the beer was a stunner in the looks department. Light/No head and a nice ring of tiny bubbles around the rim of the glass. Smell was not overly alcoholic and I had trouble picking up many of the flavors from the nose...and then I drank the thing and tasted pepper. Lots of pepper. Mostly a white pepper taste as opposed to black. After the pepper came an intense sugary flavor. Not quite as deep as molasses, but as sweet. Somewhere between honey and something a bit richer. Served in a 10oz. snifter I did not actually finish the beer. Just too sweet. I had trouble picking up much more than an overwhelming mix of pepper and syrupy sweetness. Not nearly as pleasant as I had hoped for. I will give this beer one more try....with greatly revised expectations.
