Frontaal's annual Mexican Imperial Stout has matured for twelve months in bourbon, rum and Speyside barrels, creating a layered and warming experience. Deep chocolate and roasted malt form the foundation, softened by creamy vanilla sweetness. A careful blend of Aji Mirasol, Aji Panca and Guajillo peppers adds spiced depth without overwhelming the palate.

At 14% ABV, the alcohol warmth is present and welcome. Cocoa and nutty undertones complement the malt-driven body, while the peppers linger gently in the finish. A substantial, well-crafted stout for those seeking complexity in a barrel-aged format.
