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.

1st Feb 2019; 7th International Pre-Brugge Beer Festival Beer Swap, De Bierboom. Big sample from a large bottle. Tanned foam for a head, black bodied. Nice warm aroma with coffee and chilli to the fore. Taste is also leaning towards a chilli/coffee flavour with some chocolate and vanilla too. Liked the subtle chilli notes, blended nicely with the richness of the coffee and chocolate taste.

03.05.2013, 0,75l bottle (2011 vintage) sampled @ CBC:
Fint brunt skum, tjukk sirupsaktig konsistens. Lett fyldig og sødmerik lukt med preg av mørk malt, humle, chili, mørk sjokolade, mørkt sukker, kaffi, karamell, tre, kanel, vanilje, lakris, gras. Lett tørr og syrlig sødmerik smak med preg av mørk malt, humle, tre, røykt chili, mørkt sukker, kakao, gras, kaffi, kanel. Middels bitterhet som set godt. Veldig god.
2012 vintage - litt mildare lukt, ikkje fullt så tørr smak.
2013 vintage - mindre chili, meir lakris i lukt, meir syrlig smak.

Some chili in the nose along the coca roasted malts. Smooth, wel balanced. Alight chili in the end. Dry raosted malt bitterness.

2018 edition. Appearance is inky pitch black, with a tan head. Aroma is chocolate, cinnamon, chilli, coffee, spices, vanilla, peppers. Taste- chocolate, chilli, dark fruit hints, peppers, chocolate orange, milk chocolate, apple hints, chocolate cake, brownie. Mouthfeel is thick, smooth, coating, superb. Clingy cinnamon at the end. Unbelievable.
