Everyone’s favourite end-of-year treat is back and better than ever: Luna & Fuego Barrel Aged Mexican Hot Chocolate Stout (11.7%).

This Mexico-inspired stout got a very Canadian treatment - eight months in Bridgeland Distilling Alberta whisky barrels - and a very persuasive conversation with some chillies. This barrel-aged stout brings the cozy, the cocoa, and just enough heat to keep things interesting, like dessert with a devilish little streak.

Heaps of roasted malt lay down a rich, dark foundation for cocoa, cinnamon, and vanilla, while ancho, guajillo, and chipotle peppers bring a little warmth and a lot of character. The time in barrels adds another layer of depth and richness, bringing all those bold flavours together.

The result? A rich, warming stout with chocolate up front, spice sneaking in, and a smoky finish that's decidedly not here to behave.

Sweet dreams, meet your spicy side.
