Frida is a Mexican Hot Chocolate-inspired Stout aged in Bully Boy Whiskey barrels. The addition of cacao nibs, cinnamon, vanilla bean, lactose, and a hint of cayenne brighten a roasty base ale, and two months of barrel aging provides additional complexity and boozy overtones, making for a flavorful, decadent, and delicious pint.

Brewery draught, 3/2/23. Dark. Little head. Smells like fernet mixed with aperol. Very sweet and liquorish. Yeah that dominates. Soft, malty, woah....way too spicy, herbal, super thinned out. Flavor has more weird aperol in it. Not much chocolate, so much Averno and aperol and other random licorice bitters. Very light body, super dry. I guess this attenuated way too much in barrel which is why there's no bottle release. It's so liqueur-like with heavy floral notes and too much astringency.
