| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jun 3, 2008 brownish pour, with off white head. I couldn’t really smell the chipotle, but the taste, wow. It’s got a smokey flavor with a chili finish. My first chili beer and not really my thing, but an interesting taste none the less. FunkyBrewster (503), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Updated: Jun 1, 2008Pours a nice deep reddish brown. with a small off-white froth. Aroma is mostly sweet and fruity. I just get a hint of any spiciness from the peppers. Flavor starts much the same, sweet malt and fruity with some nice plum notes. The finish exposes the peppers and they are really pleasant. Not spicy at all. Kind of reminds me of the red hot candied where they are mostly sweet with a bit of spiciness. As it is warming, the peppers become more upfront. Interestingly I can feel the spiciness in my stomach which is very nice since it is so refreshingly light at the same time. 17thfloor (1499), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2008 Pours a thin murky dark orange with a chunky thin white head. Sweet candied malt aroma, slightly fruity, with a touch of chili. Super light upfront flavor that finishes with a nice chili kick! Light candied malts and a touch of yeast. Too vague a base for those chilis, wish they had something to support them. The chilis have a bit of a bite in the finish and aftertaste. I’m kind of liking the idea of the Mole Black & Tan... why don’t they just bottle that??? Disappointing, wish it was fuller in body...

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2008 Bottle @ Beer Palace, Oslo. Coarse one-finger off-white head. Near-clear golden brown colored body. Medium sweet aroma of light nutty malts, toffee and raisins. Taste is peppry with dry caramellish malts, plummy fruitiness and a proper amount of bittering hops. Healthy body. Mild spices and lingering bitterness in the finish. Padron4KM (403), Chandler, Arizona, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 24, 2008 22 oz bottle.
Light amber with a thick tan head.
Malty aroma, with a light smokiness in the background.
Flavor starts lightly sweet and malty, ends with a long lasting, smokey, spicy kick. Not too spicy, just enough to let you know it’s there.
This would pair well w/ some bbq ribs or a some pulled pork. v64 (74), Austin, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 20, 2008 Interesting. Definitely an aroma and taste of peppers. Large head. Light amber color. The beer does have a spicy aftertaste, which was stronger than I had expected, very nice touch. The only problem is, it’s not a very good beer otherwise. Good to try once, but that’s enough for me. phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 19, 2008 A very unique beer to say the least, sampled at Rogue ale house in Portland: Poured a dark red body with a fairly large almond head. Aroma is sweet, and nutty mouthfeel is fairly light, taste is moderately hopped with a spicey, peppery finish. Flavors of chili, barbeque ribs and spaghetti sauce. lowgun1212 (85), Montclair, New Jersey, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 15, 2008 just a touch of red in that average amber ale color. you can smell the heat but not the smoke. taste is off somehow. you got the chipotle but also some celery or brussel sprout too. id rather see malt fight the heat than hops. fares far better paired with the chocolate stout for the Mole.
