It's Cold, It's Carbonated, Its
Alrighty then. Here goes my first REAL taste of the Firestorm... A light chipotle aroma, slight smokey flavor followed by a slight burn of peppers in the back of the mouth. I'd say it's beer. I look forward to drinking this with a good Mexican dish.

Chipotle Ale
This was a fun one to brew. I like the Rogue's Chipotle Ale and wanted to try to make one that was close. On brew day it had a hint of the chipotle. After the fermentation was done it had a stronger chipotle taste but also had a funky smokey tone that I didn't really like. After almost two weeks of conditioning I tasted it again and it had smoothed out considerably. It's in the keg now and I bet in a few more weeks it will be even better.
