Dia de los Muertos
A Mexican hot chocolate stout with aromas of chocolate, caramel and vanilla, a light roasted character from the dark malts, and spice and heat from Ancho Grande chillies. Día de los Muertos is the brewery's annual brew, and for the latest batch the brewers tried varying amounts of chilli until they found a balance between heat and chocolate. A 440 ml can at 5.8 %.
