Chipotle Porter

Somethings are too good they just won't wait.

We were wandering down the beer aisle in Central Market this afternoon, when I spotted Mikkeller Chipotle Porter.  This is a beer I've been looking forward to...the Saucer is tapping it on August 26th.  But, yeah, I'm just not gonna wait.

We chilled it a bit more and then drank it with dinner: grilled jalapeno and cheddar sausages w/Sierra Nevada Porter mustard.  Oh my goodness, life is good.

This is a wonderful beer.  It pours like chocolate syrup, but darker.  The head is huge and dark mocha colored.  Lots of chocolate and coffee with just a hint of the spicy chipotle.  Of course, after a few sips, the heat begins to build.  I taste salt and spice, chocolate and roasty malts.  This is one damn fine beer.

But just like anything else...maybe there's something out there that's better...Mikkeller Chipotle Porter on draught.  Good things come to those who wait.  And to those who cruise the beer aisle at Central Market.
