Ballistic Beer Co, Mexican Hot Chocolate, 375ml

What are we getting?

 Roasted coffee and dark chocolate on the nose, with the chocolate notes following
through to the first sip. The chili notes in this beer are subtle enough to not be
overpowering, but still leave a lasting kick on the back palate.

When to drink and what to pair it with? This is a dessert beer without the overpowering sweetness for me. Perfect pairing with some chocolate ice cream, or just to warm yourself up on a chilly day. If you’re feeling adventurous, try some fresh mango as a snack on the side!

Who is this beer for? Don’t let the chili in this one put you off, it’s actually very approachable. I wouldn’t pick this up if it was my first entry into the stout section, but if you’ve already joined the dark side then this will be a welcome addition to your beer fridge. Those who have picked this up before know how drinkable it is, even at 6.8%.

Is this beer readily available? Ballistic lists this as one of their seasonal releases, and as such you won’t see it all year round. Stock is usually available as we gear up to the cooler months, but it’s just as good in the warmer months, so stock up if you want some later in the year! #itsalwaysstoutweather

Why do we like this beer? As far as stouts go these days, this ones a mid strength, which means I can have a 4 pack and still function. It’s layered and complex, and I’m a sucker for chili in anything. Ballistic nails the drinkability on this, with a respectable ABV, complex flavour profile, and moreish finish.

We’re Antoinette, Natasha, Matt and Simon. We’re good booze lovers just like you. We started our beery journey in 2013 when we opened the famous Brewski on Brisbane’s infamous Caxton Street. In 2018 we opened our first My Beer Dealer under Brewski, it’s one of the few drink-in bottle shops in Queensland and we’re super chuffed with it. 2020 was a big year for us, we launched our online store (you’re looking at it) and opened our second bricks ‘n mortar shop next to Eagle Junction station in Brisbane’s Clayfield (we’re super chuffed with it as well). Both of these have allowed us to complement our awesome beer range with our other passions of good wine and good spirits.

As we’re a small family run business we prefer to support other family businesses and small producers, ensuring that when you visit us it’s not the same old, same old. And by shopping with us we hope you get to feel good about supporting a whole heap of small businesses, just like we do. So if you do choose to buy through us, thank you from us and thank you from our family of suppliers (and thanks for reading this far, our copywriter is stoked).
