Mar 15, 2009 Bomber. Poured a deep amber color with e medium white head. Aroma is mildly sweet but more hoppy and spicey notes. Taste is a smooth malty ale, and a bigger than expected chipotle and spice bite. I thought the chipotle would be milder, but its was bigger, and surprisingly tolerable. Nice bite finish - try it out with some mexican food.

Mar 12, 2009 It poured a nice head but this quickly dissipated to a thin disk of foam. Light and sweet aroma. Beautiful red, goldish color. Nice malty and smoky flavor. I think I can taste the jalapeno. A slightly bitter aftertaste with a little bite (jalapeno?). Very nicely balanced. Another good one from Rogue.

Mar 7, 2009 Not a lot from the aroma. Pours a clear amber with a big foamy head. Flavor is different though. Nice smoke flavor with a bit of chipolte bite. Sounds weird I know but it works. This is probably best enjoyed with a spicy dish like wings or something hot.

Feb 28, 2009 Bomber. Clear copper with a small, lasting disc of foam. Aroma is thinned-out smoky mesquite and hickory with some light honey. Flavor is even better, with smoked pepper, earthy vegetals, orange-caramel, charred wood, and some spicy pepperoni. Light-medium body is a bit too watery and frothy, but nicely tingly with spiciness and smoky dry. If this had some body and depth, it would be a truly great rauchbier.

Feb 23, 2009 Pours a dull amber with a good head. Light sweet red pepper aroma, touch of ash. Tastes strongly of ash, lots and lots of smoke, heat from the pepper - very nice! Good carbonation, slightly thin body but ok. Nice pepper/smoked thing going on - a novelty beer for sure, but well-executed.

Feb 9, 2009 Was very much looking forward to trying this. A beer that was whispered about between my friends about how good it was. The smell was very sweet, like rock candy with he malt and than just a teasing of smokey peppers. The taste was similar. I was very much expecting a pepper burn but it was very subtle which is probably for the best. A unique and wonderful beer.
