– Sweet Stout
Abuelita After Dark Inspired by late-night Mexican hot chocolate and a name that almost got us in trouble, Abuelita After Dark is smooth, bold, and just a little mischievous. Layers of rich cocoa, warming cinnamon, and subtle vanilla notes come together in a stout that’s comforting at first sip — but keeps you coming back for more.
Base Grain: Crisp Finest Maris Otter, Flaked Oats, Simpsons Crystal Medium, Simpsons Chocolate Malt, Thomas Fawcett Pale Chocolate, Weyermann Roasted Barley, Weyermann Carafa Special Type II, Lactose
Aroma: Decadent milk chocolate leads the way, followed by warm cinnamon spice and a flirtatious hint of dried ancho chile. Light roast and subtle caramel round out the nose. Appearance: Jet black with ruby edges and a thick, creamy tan head that lingers like it means it. Flavor: Rich cocoa and sweet chocolate glide across the palate before cinnamon warmth builds gently. Ancho and guajillo chiles add depth and intrigue without heat, just enough spice to keep things interesting. Balanced roast, smooth sweetness, and a clean, slightly dry finish. Mouthfeel: Velvety and smooth with a medium-full body. Creamy lactose sweetness and soft carbonation make it dangerously easy to drink.
