I have some raspberry chipotle that I want add to a brew. Any suggestions on how I can do this and to what type of craft to add it to? I am a novice homebrewer and only brewed two batches (2nd one in progress). I'm really having fun with this new hobby of mine and want to try something different.
How to brew with rasberry chipotle...any ideas?

A Pale Ale would be my suggestions. Raspberry chipotle...what? Jelly, sauce? You could buy a commercial APA and add some to a glass to explore the flavor first. If that is nasty, you'll know not to waste a batch.

I would imagine an Amber or a Porter would be a good compliment to fruit and spice.
I'd add it to some sort of a witbeer. IPA's and PA's are all about the flavor/aroma of the hops. The wheat beers are a ton more subtle and would allow you to appreciate the additions more, IMO
Now, if it was, say, chocolate/raspberry.. I'd be thinking along the lines of a porter or a dry stout.

Hmm. Great suggestions! @ strambo: I'm brewing some amber as we speak which should be ready in a few weeks. I will add a dab of the raspberry chipotle sauce just to see if the flavor combination works. @ ThreeGnomes: I was actually thinking of a stout as a possibility, with a chocolate malt. I was part of a team that competed in a company homebrew competition and we made a chocolate chile stout which came out very nice. I believe the peppers were added during the secondary. I figure I would probably do the same with my sauce.
