This chocolate stout is inspired by Champurrado, a classic Mexican hot drink made with chocolate, corn and milk. Robust chocolate flavors with hints of spice come from Tanzanian cacao nibs and Indonesian cinnamon sticks. Abuela’s Casita uses the traditional Champurrado ingredients of corn and lactose to add depth of flavor and to round out the palate. A staple drink made during the winter, we offer this treat to warm up your winter nights, just like Abuela does.

Bottle - Chilli and chocolate with sweet syrup. Yet brown with a small white head. Heat, light chilli and toasty notes.

Dark brown, light bubbly head. On the nose, there's a light chocolate, touch of sugar...maybe corn. But there are all some new ingredients. All told, there's a light chocolate, maybe a touch of chile, but maybe not. As these types of beer, this simply doesn't flow. There are no flaws, but it lacks any powerful elements, either.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out chili peppers, light cocoa and cinnamon. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of cinnamon and chili peppers upfront, with a bit of cocoa. A bit sludgy and earthy, with a spicy finish. Fun beer, but not especially complex or well-constructed. Decent.

Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours brown with a creamy dark tan head. Aroma suggests chocolate tamale. :) Masa. Hmm. Maybe less than medium body. Flavor is Mexican chocolate with that masa thing. Not very dry. Hardly bitter. Not sure this was the best use of ingredients.

Pours a dark black brown from a bottle. Nice chocolate and light cinnamon aroma, flavor is somewhat similar, a bit of a nearly burnt roastiness. Thin. Okay beer.
