Carlota is a smooth, spicy stout inspired by the magical cuisine of Mexico and created by Cervecera Macaria. This is a complex beer which uses 7 different malts, 4 different chilli types, cocoa husks, cacao nibs, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla! Fermented using a Mexican lager strain of yeast, during the maturation phase we add a prodigious amount of ancho, pasilla and mulato chillies as well as smoky chipotles. The resulting beer is a rich celebration of warming spice, raisiny sweetness and chocolate goodness.

Hops - Cascade, Goldings
Malts - Low Colour Maris Otter, Wheat, Crystal, Munich, Brown, Chocolate

Can, small stable creamy bubbly head, opaque very dark brown colour, intense dark bitter chocolate, roasted notes, green chilie, but more green with just a whiff of spiciness, some earthy cocoa notes, almost completely dry and quite bitter. Highly enjoyable.

Cask at EBF Summer 22. Aroma is chocolatey with a chilli edge. Darkest brown. Thin bubbly tan head retreats to the rim. Chocolatey and chili. Some liqourice. Medium bodied. Slick. Sticky. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Yum.

Half-pint, cask ale at Bankers Cat. Jet black body, tan-coloured head leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Promising roasted aromas, bread and nuts, mid-sweet. Taste of nutty caramel and earthy chocolate, rather sweet, followed by a roasted malty ending with a, not overdone, chili twist. Satisfying. (Leeds 06.07.2022).
