Rogue Chipotle Ale

I like spicy. Not so spicy where it burns my mouth. But spicy enough that it almost nums my lips and tongue,and the tingling sensation stays for a bit. I found it in a beer yesterday. Not that I believe that beers all beers should be made with hot peppers. No way in Hell. But this is a good beer to try just once.



I've been eying this bomber for close to a week now. Yesterday I had a day off so the oppurtunity presented itself for me to travel for beer. So I went to Thrifty on Court St and picked this up as soon as I walked in the door. I let it chill for awhile upon arriving at home,because unlike most of the beer I get,this ale is meant to be served cold.

When poured into a pint glass, the color was a murky amber with a head about 1 finger wide that was as white as snow. The peppery taste isn't quite as evident in the initial sip as it is in the aftertaste. Even then its not mindblowing. Just tingly. The burp itself was fairly spicy. In the end,there really isn't anything special about it, besides being made with peppers. For me it was a novely beer. I probably won't buy it again,but I'm not going to bad mouth it to those who are interested in trying it. It's worht the experience.
