April's Apocalyptic Beer: Choco Chile time

The Beer of the Apocalypse from Elysian is the Peste: Chocolate & Chili ale.

Definitely my favorite so far.  Flavors are bold, upfront with a slowly building and definitely spicy finish that lingers.  Very weak head, likely due to the chili pepper; this is too bad, but it's the nature of the ale.  Lots of chocolate flavor, not roasty like a stout though, nor as thick...  I dunno, not much to say really.  If you like spicy and you like chocolate with spicy then you cannot afford to miss this one.

We had some delicious nachos with the beer at Brews on Washington in downtown Spokane.  So very impressed.
