Olmec Hot Chocolate is an Epicurean Fruit Tart built from a cup of spiced hot chocolate. Raspberry carries it, with cacao, vanilla and cinnamon close behind and a touch of chili pepper at the very end, the kind of warmth you notice a sip after it arrives.
The Olmec, on the Gulf Coast of what is now Mexico, were among the first people anywhere to drink cacao, more than three thousand years ago. The label is a table of everything that cup has gathered since: a colossal head, the cacao pod, cinnamon bark, a vanilla flower, the grinding stone, a red chili, and a jaguar keeping an eye on all of it. We set a Fruit Tart underneath and let the raspberry lead.
Our Epicurean beers start from a dish instead of a style. This dish happens to be served cold.
