Quite pleasing beer. Smells like dark chocolate. Marked cacao flavor, hints of vanilla. Peppers add a subtle flavor without adding almost any spiciness. Pretty much feels like drinking fine chocolate. Could be a little bit more roasty/malty to fully express itself as a beer.

I think I prefer this muchly out of the bottle. Whereas on tap this beer was super-smooth, almost blandly so, here it carried a lot more bitter chocolate in the flavor. That masked the sweet effect of the cinnamon, and maybe enhanced the chili (though not much). More intriguing, balanced, and tasty this way.
