A long time in the making, Three Hills Brewing have teamed up with imperial stout specialist Damien Doherty of The Emperor’s brewery.
Both fans of Mexican food & smoked chillis, a molé inspired beer was born.
The base beer has aspects of Three Hills BPAVK base with a few adjustments & small addition of smoked malt.
Fermented with mollasses & Demerara sugar for added depth & complexity.
Conditioned on Mexican cacao nibs & morita chipotle chillis.

Bottle split at the Autumn Watford tasting, thanks to Dave, 24/09/21. Black with a tan head that escapes edgewards. Nose is dark malts, caramel, toffee, chocolate, light green pepper spice. Taste comprises cocoa powder, burnt toffee, light smoke, spice, light chilli flicker, dark malts, charr. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close Decent enough but overall lacks some depth for the high boost offered.

330ml bottle. Pours black with the thinnest of tan heads. Aroma of chocolate, chilli, smoked meats. Taste is very smokey at first, meaty, rich dark chocolate, chilli is nice, warming, slightly fruity, brown sugar, molasses, more chocolate as it warms, bittersweet. Medium bodied. Nowhere near as thick as the BPAVK beers this is supposedly built off, but very decent.

33cl bottle, shared with Vincent and Isa - 15€ the bottle - hmmm yeah sure, glad it was shared.
Bottle# 2218, BB 21/07/2025.
Brune foncée, léger filament huileux au verre, col léger blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un bouquet malté complexe - très anglais - note fumée bcp plus que sur l'apport du piment lui-même. Mélasse, sucre candi et fruits noirs.
Palais reste très axé dans une approche anglaise du gros stout impérial - il faut oublier le côté US. Malt pâle, cara, petite touche fumée de l'ajout des piment chipotle mais ici quais aucune trace du caractère pimenté. Palais est épais avec une effervescence moyenne voire faible - note de mélasse, cacao léger. Rétro léger sur les fruits noirs - raisins secs, mûres, figue.
Correcte - mais ne vaut pas les 15€. Ca reste un bon gros stout anglais, de belle facture - nous nous sommes peut-être faits avoir par le 'jedi mind trick'.

Bottle shared in Watford - cheers to Dave. Pours black-brown with a small, frothy beige head. Medium sweet, big smoked malts, some light spice, brown bread, very slight earthy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Lightly warming finish, a little chilli spice, cocoa, red pepper, light roast. Basic but not bad.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Pours a thin looking dark brown. Fine tan head. Nose has a De Molen-esque smoked malt vibe. Some coffee notes. Some charred pepper. Taste is dry and lightly bitter with a smoked meat sweetness. Lacks depth for a big hitter. Fine carbonation. Smoky bittersweet finish. Lesson learned.
