On draught at rogue for my birthday - in 32 oz glass - pours a nice clear amber color with small off white head. Nose of smoke and pepper. Nice balance of malt and smoke - not too much heat. One of my favorite summer beers from rogue!

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap 6 oz. pour at Old Line Wine's The Bistro in Beltsville, MD.
Clear, dark amber-red-brown.
Aroma of caramel, brown bread, malt, chili pepper flesh (the aroma of the pepper fruit itself, rather that the spiciness) and bandaids.
Taste of of smoke chipotle peppers, caramel, raisins and brown sugar. Leaves a hot pepper taste in you mouth, but is far from being overwhelming and balances rather well with the malty flavors and sweetness.
Light/medium body and medium/light carbonation. The mouthfeel is slightly slick and, more importantly, is too thin to match well with the more robust flavors.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
650ml bottle. Pours a hazy mid-amber, with a smallish off-white head, which does not last all that well, but does leave good lacing. The aroma mixes caramel and toffee malt notes with chipotle and faint floral hops. Quite strong citrus and pepper hops up front mix nicely with the chipotle, creating quite a spicy effect. The chipotle continues into the mid-palate, where it is moderated by caramel and toasty malt. Smoky, spicy chipotle makes up the finish, and leaves a chilli aftertaste. The hops and malt flavours pair very nicely with the chipotle to create a beer that is a little out there, but certainly very tasty.

Tasted at Battle of the Brews. Pours a copper brown with a white head. It's pretty sweet and a smokey finish. Not really spicy at all.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium orange, translucent, with a thin white head. Aroma is smokey, light pepper, floral hops, and bread aromas. Taste is moderately bitter with a the smokiness carrying through. Lighter medium with fine carbonation. Wanted more spiciness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a clear golden copper with an eggshell colored, foamy head. Average head retention with some foamy lacing. Lemon zest, chili pepper, and plastic aromas. Orange notes, smokiness, and an unpleasant plastic flavor. Drinks like a Märzen. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft until the finish, which brings a fine sandpaper-like scrubbing. The faintest capsicum burn on the back of the throat. This is not a great beer. Certainly not Rogue’s best effort. Lots of optimism in the idea though.
2.8 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Orange clear body, thin white head, spicy aroma and a smoked initial taste. Quick end.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
This one was very weird but it did grow on me. It is like drinking a smokey pepper.
