Ambiente is our Mexican Chocolate-inspired Imperial Stout. One of our Imperial Stout recipes (Vibes) was infused with TCHO Ghana Cocoa Nibs, Madagascar Vanilla Beans, freshly ground Cinnamon Sticks and Ancho Chiles. This years release works to balance these ingredients to provide a harmonious drinking experience that showcases not only their unique collaboration, but also the integrity of the base Imperial Stout which ties it all together.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Pitch black colour with a small brown head and a rather oily consistency. Aroma is nutty, some liquorice, alcohol, cereals and some honey tones too. Flavour is liquorice, some roasted malts, some nutty tones, amaretto, alcohol, some honey and mild smoked wet wooden elements. Rather sweet, but still highly drinkable.

750ml (thx, Brent L.!) @ Black Christmas 2023 at Heritage Hall. Vintage 2021. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: nice cinnamon, some chocolate. Taste: along the same lines, loads of chocolate with nicely integrated cinnamon. Overall: what a nice surprise in terms of balance, good one.

750mL bottle, pours black a tiny beige head. Aroma is full of cinnamon upfront, followed by cocoa, a touch of chilis, and a touch of vanilla. Flavour is full of spicy cinnamon sticks, light chilis, deep cocoa, and a touch of vanilla. Tons of cinnamon. Pretty good but a bit too sludgy on the palate.

Flaska från Shared, vintage 2021. Svart med brun tunn krona. Doftar och smakar fruktigt och kryddigt; mild chilifrukt, banankaka, massor av kanel, russin, lätt kaffeton. Någorlunda stor kropp. En gnutta överslag på kanel möjligen, men annars kalas.

2021 version thnx to Tom VVH ! Pours black, no head. Scent is sharp, cinnamon. Taste is full, intense, sweet, cinnamon is recognizable, but not overpowering. Chocolaty. Silky, supersmooth , peppers are very mild (perhaps a bit too mild for the beer you'd expect) . Overall, a pretty great stout ! somewhat sweet, yet still very balanced.

Bottle from trade. Black with brief, brown head. Aroma is all of the cinnamon buns. Some earthy notes and rich chocolate. Taste has a distinct dry taste of chili and cinnamon before transitioning into luscious chocolate. Spices really work well together with the beer. Awesome stuff!
