I tried this at the brewery as part of a sampler. I really liked the aroma. The peppers stood out but played nicely with everything else. The flavor was good but not as good. The peppers seemed to get lost. But I enjoyed it and it made me want to brew one of my own.

Served on-draught into a 3 oz sampler glass at Fort Collins Brewing's tasting room. Reviewed from notes. This was me second chili beer.
A: Pours a one finger head of nice cream, good thickness, and decent retention. Colour is a solid black.
Sm: Chilis and black pepper. A moderately strong aroma, but a very inviting one - particularly for the style.
T: Some tame chilis with most of the spice in the aftertaste. Not real complex but decently layered. It's structurally interesting on account of the spice, in that the finish is almost invisible but the aftertaste feels like an act. Well-balanced. Not at all too spicy.
Mf: Smooth and wet, suiting the flavours quite nicely. Near perfect for a porter.
Dr: The marriage of chilis with the porter style was an interesting idea, and one that could have failed miserably. I'm glad they were willing to experiment, as this one turned out pretty well. Pretty drinkable for the style and one of the best chili beers I've yet had. More a chili beer than a porter, so porter fans beware.

A: very dark, single lots of lace
S: wow. Really captured the chili pepper aroma. Excellent
T: light coffee and smokey up front with a NON offensive chili pepper finish. Actually well done. I was skeptical before trying this one
M: medium to full body with an oily texture. Moderate carbonation.
Overall: Many chili or chipotle beers have too much of the chili pepper spiciness that it distracts from the other beer flavors but this one is right on.
