Brown to amber in color with a quarter inch of tightly knit brown foam resting on top. I'm getting some bready malt and faint dates in the aroma. The taste is fairly subdued, but i'm getting caramel and dates. I think the head from the chipotle peppers in the mouth is pretty faint, but I suspect it is because my can is about 11 months old.

Pours a hazy, mahogany color. 1/3 inch head of an off-white color. Decent retention and poor lacing. Smells of sweet malt, citrus (dates and/or cherry), sweet malt, earthiness, pale malt, hint of hop. Fits the style of a Chile Beer. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an average carbonation level. There is also a slight heat. Tastes of caramel malt, sweet malt, citrus, earthiness, hint of roasted malt, hint of hop, and slight chile. Overall, sweet, earthy, and citrusy; a great blend and the heat is the perfect amount.

Very mild for a chili beer, which is expected with the chipotle peppers. Easy drinking and quite tasty, with a little bit of heat for the after taste.

I've been impressed with both beers I've tried from Piney River.

If you're looking for something a little more mild than habenero sculpin this is a great beer. Right away you get some heat which fades to a real gummy sweetness. The beer is a little surprising in that it finishes with that nice smokey chipotle zing. I thought this was a very nicely balanced beer. Great, non-overpowering, yet unique beer for the start of your next tasting event. Cheers Piney River!
