Dedicated to Spanish author Juan de la Cueva, who, in 1575, wrote of a Mexican dish that combined seedless chipotles with beer: Chipotle Ale is based on Rogue’s Oregon Golden Ale, but delicately spiced with smoked chipotle chile peppers. Deep golden in color with a tight head, rich malty aroma, delicately smooth and crisp flavor, and subtle chipotle chili finish. Formerly known and packages as Mexicali Rogue, Chipotle Ale is created from Northwest Harrington, Klages, and Maier Munich Malts; Willamette and Cascade hops; and Smoked Jalapeno (Chipolte) Peppers. Chipotle Ale is targeted for spring release and available in a 22-ounce bottle and on draft. Blend it with Rogue Chocolate Stout and create a Mole’ black and tan!

No I don't understand this at all. Too much chili. Hot. Some honey and soft malts. Not much to write about. #SXShare

On tap at the Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2016. Honey brown with a slight ring of white head. Aroma produces some chilli but also strawberry jam, cereal and wood shavings. Sweet-savoury chilli taste with a pronounced sour note in the finish. Slight pine and maple syrup suggestions as the sip slips away. Subtly warming chilli on the lips. Aftertaste is a bit glue-y, not sure about that. Good all in all and worth a try.

Pours clear copper color with off white head. Aromas of caramel and peppers with some smokiness. Smoked pepper flavor with slight heat and some caramel. Medium body with average carbonation. Better than I was expecting.

22 Oz bottle pour split. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Orange fruit, and hops aroma. Drinks nice, with some good hop character and a very mild pepper spice. Pretty good pepper beer. Enjoyed it.

Clear amber color with a minimal head. Malt forward with some green bell pepper on the nose. Average carbonation and medium-body. Taste is similar with a smoked taste and some mild hop bitterness with the pepper just kind of there. It doesn’t pack much of a punch as far as heat goes. Dry peppery finish.

(Bottle, 0.65 l - BB info not found, 20150426) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and almost white. Aroma had malts, cardboard and bell pepper. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, smoke, sweetness, cardboard and bitterness. Aftertaste had burning sense from chilli and oxidized malts and low bitternes. Not an impressive brew at this point of ageing and I suppose it weren’t much better while fresher either.

650ml bottle from Beers of Europe. 5%, 40 IBU, according to the bottle. Pours hazy amber, thick white head. Aromas are malty, caramel, vanilla, light spice, green vegetables. Taste is more of the capsicum, light spicy heat. Clean finish, but not a big fan to be honest.

Bottle at the Roadhouse Barbecue, Bangkok. Poured a clear mediun amber with a thin white head. The aroma is light malt hop. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a smooth resin hop bitter light spice palate. Medium bodied witn average carbonation. Nice and smooth but I hoped for more flavour and a lick in the tail.
