This is the first time I've ever tried a chili beer, but I wanted something different tonight. Pretty tasty. The chipotle gives it a nice smoky aroma, similar to a smoked beer. On first taste it also tastes similar to a nice smokehouse ale, but then the hint of chili pepper arrives to set it apart, and it finishes nicely. The pepper is noticeable but far from overpowering, and I didn't find really find it spicy at all. But tasty.
Fortunately I have a few squares of nice dark chocolate in my possession. Chipotle and chocolate is a favorite combination of mine, and a nice swirl of the Chipotle Ale with a bit of dark chocolate is excellent. :beer:
So, DU, have you tried any interesting beers lately? What're you drinking tonight?
