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.

Nov 30, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Clear yellow-orange with tons of creamy white head. Aroma is so damn spicy. Pepper and pepper everywhere. Peppers and pepper, some Cheyenne pepper, and maybe some peppers. I like spicy food. I dig hot sauce. Chipotle is usually a plus for me but shit... pepper.
I had rated this around a 1.5 and as it warmed my score kept lowering. Then I burped. The horror.

Nov 27, 2009 Clear, most very clear of orange. Smells of beef jerky that you save for a special road trip. Spicyness holds true to the name. Spicy hot taste. Flavor of peppers fills in the flavor and kicks you in the back of the throat. Holy crap, this is spicy! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I should have split this bottle with more than one person. My tongue is livin la vida loca.
I quote Fratto as he took his first sip "AHHHHHHHH FUCK! AHHHHHHH"

Nov 12, 2009 Bomber. A clean, clear amber with a medium tan head that lasts quite a while. Some lacing, too. Pepper notes and a bit of fruity malt in the aroma. Not bad so far... There’s a definite presence of the chipotles from to start to finish in the flavor, but it’s never overpowering or too strong. A little bit of bacony flavor/aroma comes out, but this is no rauchbier. Medium malt body, average palate. Not bad. I’m not too big on spicy beers, but this one’s pretty well-constructed.

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.
