In anticipation of Dia De Los Muertos and inspired by the profound flavors of Mexican Chocolate, The Lost Abbey will be releasing it’s newest and very limited celebratory creation; My Black Parade.

Continuing The Lost Abbey’s trend in being inspired by worldly religious-based stories, My Black Parade tells the story of unrequited love being remembered each year on Dia De Los Muertos. A crowd of believers, that grows with each procession, making a yearly pilgrimage to an unmarked grave, waiting for true love to show up.

A blended Bourbon barrel-aged Strong Ale with cocoa nibs, vanilla bean and spices, My Black Parade will be limited to only 60 cases with all inventory sold online through The Lost Abbey Website.

Pouring darker than a moonless night, My Black Parade begins with a deep bouquet of rich chocolate and layered hints of cinnamon and oak. Huge flavors of cocoa on the palate with notes of vanilla, bourbon, and tobacco, finishing with crisp bite from the smoked chili’s and cardamom.

Bottle@yesprs - Aroma and taste is sweet dark malty with opulent chocolate notes, some caramel and treacle sweetness, resonating bourbon throughout, some dark dried fruit, slight charred smoked burnt malty offset with a sweet vanilla close.

Wonderful stuff. Musky roast and dark chocolate. Caramel and done coffee, nut. Back pour with good head and lacing. Bitter finish but excellent journey like never ending puppy flights. Creamy consistency. Bottle.

Bottle. Black with a small tan head. On the sweet side with bourbon, cinnamon, some cocoa and oak. The body was full and the finish long. The alcohol was well hidden. A nice one.
