Barley Wine Dark Aged for 6 months in Mezcal barrels with dark agave syrup, cinnamon and Mexican coffee.
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...

Clear amber beer, small pale tan head. Smooth palate, fairly light and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, sweetish. Spicy Mezcal. Nice coffee - smooth and with mild earth and chocolate tones. Touch of fruitiness on the spicy finish. Very good indeed. A spirity Kahlua barleywine cocktail. Unusual and crushable.

Bottle, 10.5%. The aroma seems smoked at first, but then the beer smells more like Nesquick. Clear dark brown colour. Very small frothy light brown head. The flavour starts off citric. Then comes a distinct maltiness along with vanilla, and finally smoke. I like the separate parts, but I do not care too much for the conbination.
