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.

Black with almost no head. Aroma is dark chocolate, creme brulee, cocoa beans, dark molasses, vanilla. Taste is some wax and phenols, very sweet though balanced, cinnamon. Sweet phenolic finish. A bit spicy. Good.

Bottle 2017, danke Stefan. Black, big, almost black cream. Big coffee cinnamon and dark chocolate aroma. Very spicy - coconut and cinnamon, fresh cocoa beans, light coffee roast finish. Medium full body, chewy smooth mellow mouthfeel. Overall a wee bit too sweet and intense for me.
