From the brewer
Happy birthday to us! To celebrate our first year as a brewery we brewed a serious imperial stout and aged it on cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, and fresh habanero peppers. This was the first offering in our annual Anniversary series. It was so delicious we decided to bring it back each May!

A sweet spiced chocolaty stout with a thick character. The habanero comes in at the finish and is moderately strong, building up to a nice heat. Still, I'm not sure the habanero was completely necessary or even helpful overall to the flavor profile. Or maybe I'd just had too many at this point.
