This Porter is like slow-jammin' the chiles, oh yeah. With your first whiff the chipotle smokiness will be evident, and when you taste your palate will be surprised at the changing patchwork that make up the marriage of flavors, from smoky and earthy, balanced with the robust coffee malt, a tinge of heat is left on the tongue as it slides down your throat and warms you from within for a lingering slow burn.

RECIPE INCLUDES:

YOU PROVIDE:

This combination can vary based on your preference for heat and the heat of the chiles. A good way to determine how hot a chile will be is to sniff the stem end.

    Great Seasonal Beer

    Not something I would drink all the time but it definitely puts you in a festive mood for fall!

    Careful on the spicy

    I would try brewing this beer once again but this time leave out the seeds. I left the seeds in and the end finish was way to spicy even for me. Paired really well with a chili I made but I'll tone down the spice next time.

    Best one I have made in five years!

    I tried this after having one like it in a local pub. The jalapeños added an incredible complexity to this Porter.

    Wet Fire!

    I brewed this after trying & liking the Fresco Chile Lime recipe. I used 3 jalapeno & 3 serrano peppers with seeds and the 2 chipotles. After 3 weeks conditioning I tried the first bottle and was impressed with its smoothness. But the back end of the swallow can be quite a test! You don't feel it for the first couple seconds then wham! I did choose the hottest peppers using the stem sniff test. I think next time I might tone it down just a bit as it's hard to drink any volume of this brew pain-free! I'll keep conditioning it and try another bottle each week. I expect the flavor & smoothness will just keep getting better.

    Chile Fest Porter

    I used 5 Jalapenos (no seeds) and 2 chipotles.Spicy hot is a pro and a con because if you drink too much you'll pay the next day. It's not too hot but you definitely taste the peppers. For the less hardy folks you can mix with a lighter beer. This is a tasting beer not a drinking beer. I'm from Buffalo home of hot chicken wings (Buffalo Wings) so I'm familiar with hot food.
