An amber colored beer with a soapy white head. The peppers are apparent in a smokey, malty aroma. In the taste, malty with smoked pepper flavor noticeable but just traces of heat. Well balanced with smoked malt, mild hop bitterness and peppers. A beer like this lends itself to the cask, as it is nice and drinkable. A slight tingle but certainly not too hot. Medium bodied with a delicate carbonation. Overall, this is a tasty brew well worth the try. Solid chipotle beer, I'd reach for another.

Collaboration between East End and Lavery for Pittsburgh Craft Beer Week 2014. Purchased a growler at East End.
Appearance: a very dark amber, bordering on brown with a solid cream-colored head that lingers for a bit.
Aroma: I'll admit my sinuses are acting up a bit, so I'm not completely up to par in this category-but both smoke and spice are blatantly obvious.
Taste: tastes like an amber, but with the added kick of smoked malts, which come through fantastically, followed by moderate spiciness. The real heat from this beer isn't noticeable after only one sip, but it builds and it lingers on the back of the palate and is especially noticeable after breathing out. There's also a certain grit about this beer that is emphasized through earthy and woody tones that complement the amber backbone well. The earthiness is likely from the chili pepper flavors and the wood from smoked malts. There's also faint hints of cherry and vanilla.
Mouthfeel: carbonated, but not too overdone. overall its very smooth. the spice is perfect because its not overly dominant, but you know who's in charge: like the perfect coach or a successful boss, it dictates and directs without too much interference.
Overall: This is a really good beer. The amber backbone provides an ideal canvas for this well-crafted beer. Initially noticeable smoke flavors part ways for a perfect amount of spice and heat to finish off a fantastic collaboration between two great local breweries. I'm really impressed at this collab, the East End and Lavery folks did an awesome job with this one.
