Fallen Angel Black Death

New English county, Hertfordshire (42/46)*:

• Name: Fallen Angel Black Death, 5.2%, England
• Appearance: Very dark brown, hazy I think, flat.
• Aroma: Sour fruit, chilli.
• Taste: So, I didn't know this was a chilli beer, so a big swig later my mouth was on fire. Before that it had some sourness. Not going to risk it "burning twice" so the rest of the bottle goes in the drain. Amazing how much chilli they decided to add to this socalled beer.
