For the beer drinker who has tried everything before... just to prove that he or she hasn't. This beer is malty and fairly big underneath, hoppy in the middle, and slightly smokey near the end. And, of course, you can depend on dragon's breath for hours after... following the fire, that is!
Perfect for celebrating Saint Patrick's Day in Tijuana, this dry, black stout will drive the snakes out of any place you want. Roasted barley goes well with hot peppers, if only you let it.
This recipe is reminiscent of Cave Creek Chili Beer, brewed by Crazy Ed's Black Mountain Brewing in Cave Creek, Arizona. It looks harmless enough (unless there's a chili lurking in the bottle!) but if you're not careful, that hot stuff will reach right out of the glass and tear your throat open!
