Channel Ocho is an extra-strong dark ale, judiciously spiced with chipotle peppers, cinnamon and cloves for a mild heat that tickles the tongue, and a warmth that lingers after sipping. History & Style Inspired by a recipe for Mexican hot chocolate, Channel Ocho is born of brewer Brian’s nostalgia for Mexican cooking. It is strong and dark, with Abbey Ale yeast imparting natural peppery, spicy character, intriguing earthiness, and some fruit notes. Organic whole chipotle peppers, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves add heat and complexity to this unfiltered ale. Tasting Notes Aromas are earthy, with cocoa, spicy cinnamon, smoky chipotle and sweet chilies. Hints of stone fruits and banana esters in the background. Flavour is simultaneously earthy and spicy, with raisin and fig notes. Dark mahogany colour, with low to medium mouthfeel. Finish is warming courtesy of the higher ABV and spice complement. Food Pairings Chicken mole, tacos al pastor, chili-spiced cheeses, fruit flan.

    Pours a fair amount of frothy beige head and has a dark amber/brownish appearance. Somewhat weak lacing. Aromas of caramel and toffee with some spices. Flavours of malts, spices, hints of cinnamon and earthy hops as well. The finish is fairly spicy, kinda reminds me of those valentine candy hearts. Slight burning sensation on the palate. Pretty good, just think one bottle would be sufficient.

    Thanks to PaleAleRider for picking this one at the brewery for me. Looks like cola with a dark brown colour and bubbly-foamy head that disappears quickly enough and not much lacing is left. Spicy nose with some chocolate malt and some hops that give out a little rusty water scent. The flavours are a different malt, with some smokiness instead of the chocolate. Mild spiciness lingers in the aftertaste, and this seems to hide the alcohol. The rest of the taste seems a little too watery though. Wish it had a bit more punch, but still worth trying. Interesting... like a spicy (hot) rauchbier.
