Nov 7, 2009 Draft sample from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a large tan creamy head. Excellent head retention and lacing. Aroma is smoky and woody with some hickory-like notes. Taste is smoky with a light spicy burn that grows on the palate. Grows a bit too much actually. Some leafy hop notes. Medium bodied.

Oct 31, 2009 sample: RnH: Argh!!! Liquid bacon bits! Holy fried pork belly batman! I can’t say I’ve ever tried a beer like this beer (can’t say I want to again)... this was so offensive, yet strangely inviting... maybe it was the bacon!

Oct 29, 2009 Pours transparent brown amber with a good sized creamy off white head. The aroma is a crisp fresh version of the smell from a can of chipotles in adobo. I’m surprised that chipotle aroma is so evident. There’s a lot more chipotle flavor as well, although no heat. This is well made. It had to take some work to get this balanced. Unfortunately the chipotle flavor doesnt go over nearly as well in a beer as it does with some braised pork. Interesting, but not something I’d drink frequently.

Oct 28, 2009 Sampled at rattle n hum NYC, nice sweet malt backbone under the einevitably hot and spicy peppers. A bit herbal.

Oct 26, 2009 Bottle from Arena Liquors in Columbia, Missouri. Pours dark orange with a big beige head. Aroma was not as spicy as I’d expected, but still had chipotle pepper notes along with plenty of smoke and some sweet malts and earthy notes. Flavor of chipotle peppers, smoke, bacon, sweet malts, and chili powder. Not as spicy up front as down the pipe- I could feel more heat in my throat and chest than mouth. Light-medium bodied. Interesting enough to recommend.

does not count  Oct 19, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Not sure if I like this beer or just admire the interesting juxtaposition of beer and pepper. At first, the smoke flavor is overwhelming, but as you continue to drink the hint of pepper builds to a genuine spice. It was a beer that made me think, but maybe a little too much on the question of whether I actually enjoyed it.
