COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Esta es una fuerte cerveza negra de alta fermentación que con su alto contenido de maltas tostadas tiene un paladar a chocolate y café muy reconocible y un aroma a caramelo, pasas y frutas secas. Abundantes cantidades de lúpulo Británico confieren a la cerveza un elegante contrapeso al fuerte carácter acaramelado y afrutado de esta cerveza. Como un toque personal le hemos añadido chiles selectos que por su característico sabor y fuerza le dan a esta cerveza aún más intensidad. Esta cerveza fué creada especialmente para acompañar platillos con mole, un manjar digno de la corte de cualquier imperio en el pasado, presente o futuro.

This is the best mexican iterpretation of the style, it lacks body, but i think its a good example, pours black whit thin brown head with poor retention, it has an intense aroma with notes of roasted malts, chocolate, citrus fruits, caramel and chili, yes they brew it with mexican chiles, and i think that works pretty well. Body is medium to robust, the flavor is medium to high bitter and medium sweet, citrusy fruit and chili notes get intendified in th finish.

Bottle and tap. Pours an opaque, not-quite-black brown with a medium tan head and lively carbonation. Aroma is predominantly sweet; very grainy with mild undertones of chocolate, chiles, and smoke. Flavor is pleasant; full of roasted malt with just a bit of bitter chocolate and burnt caramel.
