Following up on the success of last year’s Mole Porter, we decided to brew an imperial strength version of this English style porter, with spices reminiscent of Mexican Mole (or Americanized “Molé”) sauce. In addition to the basic ingredients, Chipotle peppers, cinnamon, and cacao, we also added Mexican vanilla, Mulato and Pasilla Negro peppers. For added depth, we also aged the porter in tequila barrels for 8 months. All of this comes together for a rich and complex beer that keeps you coming back for more. This mildly warming beer that is great for Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, and all through the holidays.
