Before you use it
The one chilli on this list that is easier to ruin a batch with than to season it. Soak a pod in neutral spirit and blend the tincture into the packaged beer by the milliliter, rather than steeping and hoping.
Description
Serious heat with a genuinely fruity, apricot-like aroma underneath it, which is the reason to use it over a hotter but blander pepper. A small presence in a big stout or a fruit beer, never a large one.
