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.

Keg at Cellar, Chester, in the company of Baz, Chester Saturday 18th March 2017 Ok it’s Keg, but this was far too cold, no chocolate or chilli initially but as it warms it improves. Black in colour with a light tan head, chilli starts to show now, chocolate still a little muted, doesn’t taste 7%.Good in fact getting better all the while but not great. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - opaque black with a decent creamy head. Nose - light pepper but predominantly chocolate and toffee. Taste - more of the same. The chilli is operating on stealth. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - good.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing brown head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, bread, and a bit of coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, bread, and coffee, leading to a dry roasted finish.
