This barrel-aged savory stout takes inspiration from authentic Mexican Mole sauce. We took hand harvested Mexican Chicatana ants and blended them with Mexican Chiapas cocoa nibs, Ceylon cinnamon sticks from Vera Cruz, pompano, bahiana, and Planifolia vanilla beans from around Mexico with a blend of Mexican dried chilis.

On tap. Oil black. Tan head.
Has a bitter coffee flavor. Fudge cake and chocolate. Bourbon and lots of wet oak. Some vanilla and caramel. Very thick and rich. Not sure where the ants come into play. A bit more char here than other forager stouts.

Quite glossy obsidian black, but with absolutely no head whatsoever, even as it pours directly out of the tap.
This has a wine-like tannin from a dark fruit angle, so much so that it's almost tart. The chile pepper bolsters the background as a cinnamon chew meets some dusty cocoa in the second sip, but it's all a bit muddled.
This was not nearly as exciting as it sounded, and as such, quite the let down.
