Rogue Chipotle Ale

Name – Rogue Chipotle Ale
Country – United States
Type – Chili Beer

Appearance – Poured slightly murky copper color with a frothy white head.

Smell – Overwhelming smell of peppers.  Couldn’t really pick anything else up.

Taste – Peppers, peppers and more peppers.  I really didn’t pick up anything malts or hops in the taste and it also tasted a bit rubbery.

This was my first chili beer and may very well be my last.  I figured I would give it a whirl but was just met with something I just didn’t like.  When I had a glass with our taco dinner it was bearable but trying to drink it alone was a challenge.  I like spicy foods but I don’t want to taste peppers in my beer.  Now I know better.

Overall Grade – D-

    That’s interesting, especially from Rogue. I guess they can’t all be winners, right? I’ve never had a Chili beer, but if I get the urge I suppose I’ll pass on this one. OTOH, we reviewed an Australian Chili beer from Outback Brewing that was well-liked by our reviewer.
