Mon Chili

Story text:

We do what we like to call intuitive barrel-aged imperial stouts. What that means is that we barrel-aged our very best base stout in whatever barrel we’re feeling, and that is fresh at the moment. Then, we have a tasting session. If anything stands out to us during that session, we further enhance the beer.

For Mon Chili and its sibling, Mon Cherry, we were offered a variety of brandy barrels. The Spanish and the Cherry ones stood out, so we opted for those.

Upon tasting the Spanish Barrel-Aged beer, we knew it was all about chocolate. However, we also wanted to incorporate a Spanish vibe into it. Call it arbitrary, but sometimes chance or matters of fact, like the brandy barrels being Spanish, can lead you in the right direction. So, chili it was, our Spanish adjunct of choice.

This beer is an adult candy. Grown-up with snickering excitement. Olé!
