I haven’t had to many chili
beers but they do sound somewhat interesting in my opinion. One in particular that I’ve had
my eye on for a little while now made from Huy Fong original hot chili sauce or
Sriracha. This is Rogue Sriracha HOT Stout Beer, 5.7% ABV with 55 IBU. The
whole bottle looks just like an original Sriracha bottle even the cap is green.
This Rogue Sriracha Stout pours a black color with a tan/beige four-finger
rocky head that stay for a long time before fading into somewhat thick lacing.
I could see no light or carbonation due to the darkness of this beer. The aroma
on this Rogue Stout is spicy with chili/Sriracha and the tiniest bit of roasted
noted. But the chili spice over shadows them. The taste is at first quickly
roasted follow immediately by a chili spice that coats to your tongue and
sticks in your throat. As this stout warms the spicy note become more present
and the roasted noted fade. The mouth feel is medium but spicy and the finish
and the aftertaste are spicy. It coats the back of your mouth and stays with
you all the way down. The spice does trail off just a bit in the finish but not
as much as you’d probably like it to. Overall Rogue Sriracha HOT Stout Beer is
interesting but I would say it is great. This is a C beer. I was hoping for
more roasted notes to this and not as much of the Sriracha chili. But it wasn’t
bad, but it didn’t get better as you drank it. It stays around average with
every sip. It goes well with food. That kind of helps it a bit. By itself it’s
okay. Interesting beer with a popular chili spice, which I think is a good
idea. It just sounds better than it actually is. So go and try Rogue Sriracha
HOY Stout Beer and see what you think of it. Cheers! Please enjoy
responsibly!
