This brand new version of CCC takes inspiration from the wholesome, heartwarming Mexican Mole. Chilli and chocolate is a classic combination, and we’ve opted for using Ancho, Pasilla and Guajilla varieties for a spectrum of beautiful flavour. Further layers of mole come in the form of spicy, cinnamon notes of Amburana, delicate nutmeg and luxurious vanilla. We’re also using an experimental HBC472 hop, known for its barrel aged and vanilla character - so although we don't have a barrel aged beer in this year's selection, this creation definitely shares some of the sensibilities.

330ml can kindly shared by Finn. Dissipating fawn-coloured head, leaving lacing on the upper part of the glass, black body. Creamy chocolate-cocoa nose, inviting. Chocolate fudge flavours, biscuit, some dark fruits, and cocoa, lightly spiced. A note of chili, not overdone, towards a mid-sweet malt dominated finish. Nightcap qualities.
