Commercial Description:
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!

22 oz bottle- Pours golden to amber with a thick creamy head and almost perfect lacing, aroma is sweet malt. The flavor has a great smoky spicy flavor, but not hot spicy, I like it. however I could have used more hot spicy in this beer, afterall it is a chipotle ale.

(br-btl cr-pnt-lbl, base is Rogue Oregon Golden Ale, 650ml, 5.5%)

lct-cpr, thin head that fades, ^co2, med body.

aroma: bready earthy §leafy.

flavor: toasted-malty T1, sweet-malt sour-dough-bread T2, §hop-bitter hot-pepper T3.

quite complex but hidden by peppers at first until the palate aclimates to the spiciness. ^drinkable for style.

when cold, it’s likea regular amber with a slight nose of pepper, but as it warms you really start to get a glowing sensation of high quality fresh pepper. The sting really warms your mouth, kind of like an icy hot sensation, for very long time after your last sip. Malty and peppery is all I can really say to decribe the flavor. Good stuff tho- way better than Chili Beer.

I had this beer out of a bottle. What a smokey-tasting/smelling brew! This beer is enjoyable for it’s unique-ness.

A truly unique beer...aroma is very smoky and peaked my curiosity instantly. Very cloudy in appearance with a dark caramel color. Flavor is bold pepper, not spicy but smoky and while different, rather enjoyable if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary.

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!!!).

Deep golden in colour. Very malty aroma, mild chipotle pepper.... blah blah I get what they are going for here, just not for me. Have to try again, with food believe it will be much better.

Bomber. Poured a golden orange color with a medium sized head. Very distinct malty aroma with a fair amount of chipotle peppers. The first sip was a little unusual as it was hard to fully grasp the combination of the malt and peppers, but this one really grew as I continued to drink. I will definitely try again!
