Day 191-Beer191 Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle Peppers, Stone Brewing Co. Escondido, San Diego California

Game of Thrones has ancho chilies to spice it up, well this one has chipotle peppers, very interesting and very different. They have taken  smoke jalapenos and melded it with smoldery peat smoked malt, beer with a bite, so here goes. It poured a dark brown/black colour with a creamy tan coloured head. The aroma was dark chocolate, coffee and a hint of smoke. The taste on the other hand  starts with hints of chocolate, espresso and caramel and smoked peat and then the peppers kick in, and it definitely has a kick to it ! If you like a bit of heat in the summer this in one you might want to try, overall  a good beer , very different smoke porter with some zing, 3.6 out of 5
