Raze the Dawn

Warpigs Brewing

Munster, IN

Xocolatl Inspired Stout 6.8% ABV

 

Our adoration of chocolate-like beverages can be traced back to at least 900 BC, and Xocolatl was one such drink first attributed to the ancient Mayans, and named later by the Aztecs, that loosely translated means "bitter water." Extremely nuanced with rich notes of cocoa, vanilla, and coffee, paired with just the slightest heat from the chiles, Raze the Dawn is a beer that rewards careful study - perfect to get lost in its many layers on cool autumn nights. And with an ABV of 6.8%, you'll be able to burn that candle long into… The Dawn.
