New Belgium Lips of Faith Cocoa Molé Spiced Chocolate Porter
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
The cult classic returns! Chocolate, cinnamon and chilies combine for a sweet and spicy burst of fun in this Lips of Faith offering. Brewed with deep caramel and dark chocolate malts and a healthy dash of chocolate rye, Cocoa Molé pours midnight dark with a subtle reddish hue, lifting a pillowy burnished head. The cocoa and cinnamon accompany plentiful ancho, guajillo and chipotle chilies to bring the molé merriment to the forefront. Cocoa Molé starts on the tongue with the sweet and finishes with the fine-spun heat of peppers. A worldly contrast in a glass, this beer will get you dancing with Mexican hats. ¡Olé for Molé!

Drunk slowly the heat doesn't add up and the cocoa can be appreciated for its non-viscous, roasted qualities. A very enjoyable beer.
Nice, balanced mix of chocolate and cinnamon, on top of a sweetish, water-thin porter base. This almost didn't taste like a beer, but its drinkability is saved by the non-beer flavorings. Still, I can't given it a super-strong rating.
