Beer: Pepperspray Porter
Brewery: Het Uiltje
Country: The Netherlands
Style: Imperial Porter / Chili Beer
ABV: 8.6%
Hot, hot, hot, hot, hoooooot!
That could be my entire description of this crazy beer, but i will be nice and will put a little bit more effort into it than that.
I have had only one other chili style beer before, so i don't have much to compare it with, but i wasn't expecting the sheer spiciness which i experienced (evidently the large red pepper on the bottle wasn't enough of a warning :P)
The beer is brewed by Het Uiltje, and is brewed at Jopen (both located in Haarlem, the Netherlands). They brewed an imperial porter and added an ingredient which makes this beer so distinctive and hot: The California Reaper.
For those of you unaware of what this vital ingredient entails, the reaper is the hottest known pepper on the planet!
The result: a beer which, in my limited experience, is spicy like no other. During the first few sips the beer presents a wide range of flavors and some significant spiciness. However, with each sip one takes, the spiciness gets more intense (much like eating spicy food), and you seem to get thirstier and thirstier (a very dangerous combination). And not to forget, this beer still packs a 8.4% ABV punch which is not to be underestimated.
However, this beer is not overly spicy and remains "drinkable", unlike some other spicy beers which i have heard about. Don't drink this beer first though, it will probably ruin your taste buds.
But like i mentioned at the very beginning, the word hot is all you need to know!
I highly recommend trying out this spicy monster!
(not in combination with spicy food, don't kill yourself)
Cheers!
My rating: 3.75/5*
