DESCRIPTION:
The Barrel Aged Mole Porter is back!!! This beer is a big fan favorite, dare we say a following, and this year's batch is incredible! This is an imperial strength English style porter, with spices reminiscent of Mexican Mole sauce. Mole (or Americanized “Molé”) comes from an old Nahuati word for “mix”, or “sauce”. In addition to the basic ingredients, Chipotle peppers, cinnamon, and cacao, we also added Mexican vanilla, Mulato and Pasilla Negro peppers. For added depth, we also aged the porter in Tequila and Mezcal barrels for 8 months. All of this comes together for a rich and complex beer that keeps you coming back for more. This is a hearty beer that is mildly warming and is great for Halloween, Dia de los Muertos, Thanksgiving, and all through the holidays! Do not miss out! 

HISTORY:
Originating in London around 300 years ago porters became a highly-popular, widely-exported style in the 1800s. The name is said to have been derived from its popularity with the London working class performing various load-carrying tasks of the day.
