2020 has tested our collective patience in many ways. In times like these, when the world seems dark and bitter we turn inward to question our existence and look for hope. Heavy times call for Inspired by the intoxicating flavors of Mexican Hot Chocolate we reserved a small portion of our Dark Spot Imperial Stout and gave it a little extra time to infuse with beautiful cacao, whole vanilla beans, warming cinnamon, and just a touch of fresh chili pepper.

Hot Spot pours a thick and entirely opaque black with transient cocoa foam. Chili pepper and cinnamon aromas burst out of the glass on a foundation of thick brownie batter, rye spirit, toffee, and toasted oak. Slathers the palate with melted milk chocolate, Horchata liqueur, and graham cracker pie crust with the dry roast of a caffè mocha and the sweet spice of a Maduro cigar bringing balance. The snap of fresh chili pepper and cinnamon candy heat cut through the confectionary notes on the finish and leave a lasting impression.

A thrilling journey into darkness that you won’t soon forget.
