Mountain Culture - Champurrado Caliante Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout
"For The Black Box 2026 box we've teamed up with our great mates Ben and Ben to brew something truly epic.
They came to us with a memory of one of their favourite stouts, a Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout nonetheless, and we went to work recreating it bit by bit.
Starting with our thick Imperial Stout base we waited for fermentation to cease before adding vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa nibs and letting them sit on the beer for days. To ensure our hot chocolate was truly 'hot' we then added in chipotle chillis that had been soaking in rye whiskey." - Mountain Culture
"Light Capsicum, and Chocolate in the nose, supported by a good roasty backbone. In mouth notes of Vanilla, Chipotle and Mocha. There’s definitely some kick to it, but not enough to scare off the masses. A well-integrated beer that showcases every element on a surprisingly easy to drink brew. Salud!" -Carwyn Cellars ⚡️The Black Box 2026
