Identical to standard Stone Smoked Porter except a spicy feeling on the tongue. Good if you want a very slight modification.

Deep, dark brown coloration. Light tan head with decent retention. Smells of smoke, spice, and chocolate. Tastes of the same. Tried with Jay and Lauren at the Flying Saucer’s Stone welcome party in KC (4/19/2011)

I thought this was really tasty. Thick with a bit of smoke and spice, it really was quite drinkable and nice. Certainly could drink this again.

Pours dark ruby red with two fingers of light brown head. Smells smoked, hints of chocolate, and very subtle Chipotle spice. Taste is Chipotle dominant with some smoke underneath. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and soft mouth-carbonation, Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle Peppers finishes with a very subtle Chipotle burn.

UPDATED: JUL 18, 2006 Had this at BJ’s, Woodland Hills. It was Stone tribute night and Steve Wagner was the host which was very cool. Aroma was robust and smokey with a nice peppery smell. Flavor was subdued bbq smoke, chocolate, light hops and a lingering chili spice. The pepper really went well with the porter, and the aging made it all silky smooth. Too bad they only made two casks of this, it was delicious.

I really enjoyed this brew. The chipotle fit in perfectly with the smokey sweetness of the porter. Don’t fret about the heat-there is none. Do not drink on a full stomach; this is a hefty beer.

This was good. It is the first beer I’ve had with peppers added that I’ve enjoyed. It is also a variation to an already great beer that truly stands apart from the original. Roasted malt on the aroma with a hint of spice. Really dark but not with an overly thick head. The taste has a strong roasted and smokey covering that is followed by an earthy roasted pepper that blends so well. It is the one taste they lasts before being covered by another sip.

Great smokey aroma, with a hint of the chipotle peppers peaking through. Pours a nearly opaque dark brown, with a full light tan head that slowly fades. The flavor is amazing, full of roasted notes, smoke, and a touch of pepper heat. The heat comes out a little more in the finish, and just exists as a hint. This is a beer you sip to enjoy the flavors, with no alcohol heat. If you like the regular smoked porter, I highly recommend this variant.

Bottle from someplace cheaper than CountyWide Beverage. Rich dark dark brown with lasting tan ring, Aromas of coffee smoke dark fruit and the chipotle chili I made last night. Nice and medium rich dark chocolate roasted coffee and dark fruity sweetness with medium assertive roasted bitter smoky dry finish and lingering smoky heat. Excellent.

I am a San Diego local and where of all places did find this brew, in the "burbs" of Chicago, on tap at Bavarian Lodge (Lisle, IL). Color is black with a small fading tan head. Aroma is smoke, cocoa and coffee. Flavor starts rich dark chocolate and smoked chipotle followed by a spicy smoked pepper bite and a dry spicy finish. Medium body is smooth with moderate carbonation and medium heat. : )
