Alesong Señor Rhino

Señor Rhino is inspired by Mexican hot chocolate and we think is on par with some pretty well known American made beers of this type: beers like Cigar City’s Hunahpu and Perrenial’s Abraxis.  For this beer, we started with our base Imperial Milk stout. Prior to aging, it’s rich, decadent, and creamy with just a hint of roast and a boatload of chocolaty malt flavors.  We aged that for about 6 months in freshly dumped Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels, layering on flavors of vanilla and a hint of cinnamon and a slight warmth from the alcohol. 

We then grabbed some Ancho Chiles from the Latino market in town as well as Cassia Cinnamon and Tahitian Vanilla Beans from Mountain Rose herbs and finally some Vietnamese cocoa nibs from Chocolate Alchemy down the road.
