Flying Dog Brewhouse Rarities: Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout

One was inspired by a dark chocolate with jalape√±o she can’t resist at our local organic co-op. The other grew up in Southern California and he consistently had a mug of the real thing in-hand at friends’ houses. The duo behind our Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout used both experiences to craft our first Brewhouse Rarities release of 2015. With lactose, cinnamon, serano chiles and cocoa powder added to the beer, a combination of sweet spice and roasted chocolate aromas are followed by flavors of dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon and a lingering chili finish.
