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!

Measurements: 12 degrees Plato, IBU 35, Apparent attenuation 82, Lovibond 23

This is a good ale, very red in color, with a slight pepperiness in the nose. Not much pepper in the taste, it seems to be used only for aromatic purposes. Some smokiness to it.

Dark amber pour with a spicy nose. Spicy flavor with hints of malts, pepper, and roast (almost smokey)

I was rather disappointed in this beer. Way too spicy for my taste. Aroma was awesome with malts and pepper. Flavor was smokey and peppery. My beer tasted almost exactly like liquid smoke. Not good.

I had’nt before now ever had a beer that had peppers in it. I very much enjoy it. It pours a golden shade of amber with a retreating tan head. Aroma is of roasted malts and subtle chilis. Flavor is very smooth initialy, then the chipotle sorta jumps out atcha in the finish. I really enjoy it.

Poured a hazy/cloudy deep golden color with decent white head that dissipated pretty quickly. Aroma is very malty and peppery. Flavor is peppery with smoky notes to it as well. The mouthfeel was thin to medium. I liked this a lot, but I think one bomber would probably be my limit at any one time.

Clear dark amber pour with a creamy head that lasts. Sweet roasty malt and smoky chiles in the aroma. Flavor starts sweet and caramely, but gives way to the smoky chile flavor on the finish. I found the two flavors to clash a bit too much to make this great, but it was interesting.
