I had a beer flavored with chipotle peppers last night.

So I went to a beer dinner last night where they pair different beers with food in some unlikely combinations.

Menu

We had the Stone somked porter with chipotle peppers, and it was one of the most interesting beers I've ever had. At first it tasted like a regular porter, had some nuttyness to it, along with some coffee, but nothing real strong. About 7 seconds after my first sip, the back of my throat lit up like a fireball, this stuff was hot. It wasn't the best beer I've ever had but it was certainly good, and paired amazingly well with the hangar steak we had.

Anyone else had any unusual beers like this?

I've had some pepper beers before. I'm not too crazy about them for straight-drinking, but they work very well for cooking. I use them in my chili.

no, but it sounds good and i'd love to try it.

i've had beer so dark that it tasted like soy sauce w/o the sodium 😛

Chipotle is awesome. Hot peppers are a dime a dozen, the tasty hot ones are the true gems - habaneros being the most ubiquitous - but chipotle being up there. While I'm not much into beer (I gave it about a hundred thousand chances in college -- it just isn't my thing), your dinner sounds pretty envious.

Rogue has made one for several years now. Mexicali Ale or something like that.

the Bluegrass Brewing Company had something similar to this, yet they were somehow able to take most of the heat out of it

I LOVE spicy stuff and this beer had the "tastes like it is going to be HOT" vibe to it but it never got it. For lack of a better term it had that "citrus" flavor of hot peppers, but didn't have the heat. It would be almost like "drinking" the pepperocinis that papa johns puts in their pizzas but 10x better.

Drinking beer is bad, you shouldn't do it. It makes you do stupid stuff like drink beer flavored with chipotle peppers.
