Mystery Airship: Imperial Chocolate Porter

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, Pasilla peppers, and fresh ginger, and then aged on cocoa nibs. The rich chocolate taste comes from copious amounts of dark, roasted malts and cocoa nibs. The slight residual sweetness is balanced by the blend of spices and the slight, earthy hop nose. The cinnamon and ginger show through, giving a complimentary fiery finish, making this a perfect winter beer.
