Decent beer, tasted great with some mexican food.

Enjoyed from bomber while staying at the Rogue Bed & Beer in Newport, OR. Aroma is of spices, red peppers, and hops. Appearance is like an IPA, somewhat amber with a frothy white head. Taste is very unique and good, unexpected. I was anticipating not finishing this bottle as I’m typically not one for spiciness, but it’s not really spicy while still maintaining a spicy character. I’m tasting spiciness from peppers, but it’s very sooth and balancing with spicy hops. Also, fantastic smoky characteristics for a finish. Very much enjoyed and would drink again!

22 oz. bottle, pours a hazy orange. Aroma of chipotle and smoke. Flavour of strong smoke, cheese and spicy chipotle peppers. Certainly an interesting brew.

Bomber from GM Liquors. Nose of light pine and grassy hops and some hints of smoke. Clear copper with a huge, very lightly lacing beige head. Flavor is lightly bitter with some smoke and pepperiness from the chilis present after a couple seconds.

Weak malt aroma. Amber coloring approaching that of copper, thin head. Richly delicious flavor of leather with even a bit of horse blanket. Hot pepper finish, not overstated.Unique, very enjoyable, and a little addictive. Ignoring the pepper shtick, the base beer was fantastic. Dare I say it, some but not all brewers will occasionally dress up bad beer (fruit, pumpkin, spice) in order to salvage subpar batches. Thank you for not doing this Rogue!

22 oz bottle. Only faintly spicy in the nose. Light caramel presence is also detectable. Aromas open up a bit after it sits a bit. Pours orangish-amber with a nice head which dissipates in about two minutes. Good lacing. Tastes of peppers and tobacco; only moderately spicy. Medium body, medium carbonation. I’m a little disappointed in this one. While not bad, I’ve had better chili beers (Coopersmith!!!).
