Head brewer Dave loves Mexican food, and makes a mean Molè sauce. This is his beer version of that. It’s dark, smoky, strong, has a spicy heat from 3 types of Mexican chilli, plus addition of chocolate and cinnamon

Can, 11C. Almost black with a cm of light tan head that lasts OK. 3+ Aroma of plummy, smoky and peppery chiles with some chocolate brioche struggling a little behind. Not much more than medium bodied, silky, low carbonation. A sip briefly reveals the cinnamon as well as a drier but more chocolatey stout than their normal IS. There's a breadth to the chiles with a top note that almost pokes out too much to a rumbly plummy one that mellows things out. I'm probably imagining that their (?) Willemette makes it seem a bit more beer-like at the end. Certainly quite bitter. A bit more assertive than I expected but their usual cohesion over power approach still applies.
