Tested my chocolate, coffee, jalepeno stout this weekend and my knees went weak.
I was a little nervous going in because I've read so many "Chili peppers and beer don't go together" and "Bleh, yeck, phituii" and "This is the worst swill I've ever experienced" comments -- yet this thing knocked my socks off.
It had just the right coffee overtones and the chili peppers created a perfect little kick to the back of my throat on the way down. I dropped in a vanilla bean and some unsweetened bakers chocolate. Can't wait to test it again this weekend. And I'm astounded that this will only get better over the next 3 weeks before I bottle.
Just curious, what is the consensus on how long to condition?
