This double chocolate porter was brewed in collaboration with the premier local chocolatier Ginger Elizabeth, made to mimic the flavors of her Oaxacan hot chocolate. This strong, dark beer is spiced with cinnamon, Tahitian vanilla beans, Pasilla peppers, and fresh ginger, and then aged on cocoa nibs. The rich chocolate taste comes both from copious amounts of dark, roasted malts as well as the cocoa nibs, and the slight residual sweetness is balanced by the blend of spices, as well as the slight, earthy hop nose. The cinnamon and ginger show through, giving a slight fiery finish, making this a perfect winter beer.
