Hops: Columbus, Simcoe. Yeast: US-ale.
As already mentioned on the Cobras Fumadores bottle label, smoking cobras have been an established part of the fauna in Southern Mexico for several hundred yeast. And yes, we DO mean a cobra snake with a huge Cuban cigar in it's mouth. However, exactly how the snakes picked up this unhealthy habit, has been a mystery to herpetologists (snake spotters) ever since this line of science was created. But the mystery doesn't stop here - actually it just keeps expanding. Within the last fifty years a new sort of cobra sighting has started to appear. Coffee workers in the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil - more than 5.000 kilometers from Oaxaca, the home of the original smoking cobras - claim that cobras are sighted almost every day in the coffee fields, proudly basking in the sun whit their head raised. To complicate things these coffee snakes seem somewhat different. The majestic Cuban cigar preferred by the Mexican cobras, is substituted by a huge, fat reefer. According to local experts the aroma clearly suggests that the ganja is of local origin. And even more disturbing, the Cobras are also sipping coffee - no half-assed Mexican Café de olla, but good, strong Brazilian coffee. Will there be anything stopping these clever cobras? We fear that there may be many more future chapters to this story...

Bottled. Deep ambery brown colour with a small white head. Aroma is sweet toasted caramel with some red wine elements as well as mild coffee to it. Flavour is wooden, some coffee, spices and mild wooden tartness with a wee bit of alcohol showing as well. Nice aftertaste.

33cl bottle from Biiru's Christmas Calendar. Pours dark, dark brown with a quite modest, off-white head. Malty with mild roasty notes, coffee, wood and hints of mezcal and caramel. Sweet and flavourful with nice coffee flavour and mild boozy notes with hints of mezcal. I find this one much more enjoyable than Cobras Fumadoras. This was quite yummy!

Bottle @ The Armoury Bar, Riga. Dark brown body under a fine beige head. Aroma has dark malt, coffee, wood, spices and alcohol. Taste goes in the same direction with malt, dry fruit, coffee, spices, wood and alcohol, but it feels a bit messy and unbalanced imo. Nice body and more than less the same aftertaste. A bit warm alcoholic finish.

Hazy chestnut brown with a lasting off-white head. Malty aroma with nuts and toffee, vanilla and cold coffee. Sweet malty flavour with coffee, dark sugar and a touch of smoke. I'm not a fan of the coffee here, but on the other hand, it covers the Mezcal smoke that I didn't like in the clean version

Amber, a bit of haze. Not much head. Not attractive, but typical barley wine appearance. This has a lot of coffee on the nose, and it sort of dominates everything else. Super sweet, lots of coffee, alcohol a bit in the finish. I think the coffee masks the mezcal barrel a bit, and that's not ideal for me, but it's still pretty fun.

Coffee and mezcal. Deep amber with a decent beige head. Woody and sweet with the coffee. Not as good as the none coffee version.
