Chipotle Ale
Pours a nice amber colour with a soapy tan head that collars and leaves a small amount of lace at the top of the glass. Whoa! I don't like this smell. It's like a weird, extremely astringent gasoline or magic marker smell with a chemically smoke overtone. It literally made me gag. I think I expected something softer and more peppery in tone. The taste is sweet yet smoky after an oddly crisp start. Surprisingly malty and definitely better after it warms. Mouth is light-medium bodied with a low carbonation. Gets malty and spicy on the back end. I frankly didn't know that Chille Beer was a style (thought it'd be under herbed/spiced) and have never had one before so I'll give it a pass. But, the smell is just too much for me to consider drinking more than the two I bought already.
