Fade to Black Volume 3: Pepper Porter

Fade to Black Volumer 3: Pepper Porter, Left Hand Brewing Company, Longmont, CO
(Spice/Herb/Vegetable, Rated 96)

Outstanding porter with roasted malt, coffee, and a bit of chocolate in the aroma. Sweet coffee and licorice in the flavor...and then the pepper to heat things up a bit. When I spoke with a rep from the brewery, he said this was the most expensive beer they have ever made.  Why?...because all of the peppercorns were peeled by hand to get the seed out.  They didn't want the beer to be too hot.
