In Mayan mythology, Hun Hunahpu was the father of the Mayan hero twins Hunahpu and Xbalanque. Hun Hunahpu, along with his brother Vucub Hunahpu, was tricked by the Dark Lords of the underworld and slain. Hun Hunahpu’s corpse morphed into a cacao tree, his head becoming a cacao pod, which in typically awesome mythology fashion, spit upon the hand of a young maiden named Xiquic who promptly became pregnant with the hero twins. The twins would ultimately grow up to avenge their father and uncle and defeat the Dark Lords and ascend the heavens to become the moon and sun. We brew Hunahpu’s® Imperial Stout once a year and release it only at the brewery on the second Saturday in March. We will continue to do so until the end of the cycle.

Bottle from 2011. Pitch black. dark brown head. Malt, dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla in the aroma. Full bodied. malty sweet flavor with dark chocolate, cacao, vanilla. Sharp and roasty on the tongue. Overwhelming imperial stout.

Bottle shared at Alex's birthday. Pours a pitch black with a brown head that lingers, then dissipates. Beautiful nose with cacao nib and at the forefront. Medium bodied with cacao nib and vanilla mild cinnamon and nice heat from the chili peppers. Lots going on here and everything works well together without any cloying sweetness. Coffee and lingering cinnamon and chili on the finish with more cacao nib throughout. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hunahpu’s on 09 Mar 2019 at 01:34 - Score: 9
