So I'm surfing Flying Saucer's site and notice on their calendar that Tap Night August 26th is Mikkeller Chipotle Porter. Good God!
Beer Advocate reviewers say:
A: Pours a deep black with a huge white head that slowly fades leaving a ton of lacing on the glass. Probably the best looking porter I've ever seen.
S: The nose is full of cocoa and milk chocolaty aromas. I can also detect a slight hop presence in the background.
T: Taste is chocolate malts, milk chocolate, dark fruits, slight hops in the background, and on the finish you can taste a bit of the heat and spiciness from the peppers. You can feel the pepper heat on your tongue and lips get hotter and hotter as you drink this.
M: The feel is creamy and relatively thick with a good amount of carbonation.
D: This is one tasty porter. With the huge amount of flavors and the thick mouthfeel it's amazing this is just a 6.6% beer. Drinking one of these in a night will probably be enough though.
Although one guy said he didn't really like it as a drinking beer, but seriously thought about using it as a marinade!
Let's see...a spicy dark beer. Hmmmm...sounds right up my alley! I am soooo going to start looking for this to get a taste before the tap.
On another note, Joe and I shared a Pauwel Kwak last night. Delicious! A Strong Belgian Ale that's a perfect example of why I like Strong Belgian Ales so much...it tastes like liquid caramel apples. A great one to sip and enjoy for a good long time.
I dunno . . . I kind of like my chipotle delivered by other vehicles--like pork. Just don't know about drinking it. May I try a sip of yours?
