¿Cuando Es El Cinco De Hans Moléman?
Oliphant Brewing

2017 notes:

Solid blackness. Rich tanned, cocoa colored head.

Aroma screams out of the glass. Chocolate and peppers. Beautiful cocoa notes abound.

In the mouth: if you like heat, it's here for you. But gently. Pepper heat lays it on, but lightly and politely. Medium bodied. Easy-drinking, despite the hig ABV. Everything is well balanced here, nothing sticks out too much, and the flavor of both the chili peppers and the cocoa linger long.
It took me way too long to realize why this one references the hapless Hans Moleman from TV's The Simpsons. The rest of it is a funny in-joke that I've totally forgotten. Next time you're at the taproom, you should ask them. And then tell it back to me.

Actually, I just remembered it. It involves a Spanish-speaking intern wondering aloud in Spanish the date on which falls Cinco de Mayo. And that absurdity needed to be immortalized in a beer name. But, you should still have them tell it, they're better at it.

And, in case you didn't pick it up, damned good beer.

Tan head with lace. Black in color.

Everything about this beer sucks. It is chalky. There is no pepper or spice. It is ashy and peaty. Burnt rubber flavors.

Could not drink more than a few ounces of this crowler. What a shame. Avoid at all costs.

Pours a dark opaque brown color with khaki colored head. Spice, chocolate, pepper, vanilla, roast, and some earthy caramel notes on the nose; follows onto the palate. Full bodied. Finishes with heat and warmth from the chipotle peppers, some chocolate in there too.
