The brewery: Founders Brewing Company, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Description (from the website): "KBS Spicy Chocolate is a blend of sweet and spicy that come together like a sensory symphony. This batch of KBS is made with dried chilies and chocolate for a rich, mole-inspired punch of flavors. Expect dark chocolate and dried peppers with hints of smoke and a spicy finish that lingers just long enough to be cooled by your next sip. A unique and unexpected twist to our KBS."
Would I buy it again? This beer reminded me a bit of the chocolate orange porter I had a couple months ago. While obviously this beer was a lot richer and more decadent, the chilis in this beer serve a similar purpose as the oranges — it cuts a bit through that chocolate and gives the beer an extra dimension of flavor. It's not spicy, just spiced, and there is definitely a bit of smokiness. It's a really good beer, and I'd probably be happy to buy it again.
