The group even has its own<a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/brewpublic.com\/beer-and-food\/manbque-meat-beer-rock-and-roll-review\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/brewpublic.com\/beer-and-food\/manbque-meat-beer-rock-and-roll-review\/\"> cookbook<\/a> out along with chapters around the U.S. and the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Now on to the good stuff, Lake Effect Brewing\u2019s UnHoly Mole Milk Stout. Originally brewed for the first time earlier this year, ManBQue collaborated once again with Lake Effect to bring this beer to the market once again for the fall season.<\/p>\n<p>UnHoly Mole pours a deep, jet-black appearance that with aromas of slight smokiness. Upfront there is strong presence of chocolate that is followed up by some dryness of the milk stout. Then there\u2019s delightful dryness from the smoked chilies that pleasantly lingers on your taste buds.<\/p>\n<p>The combination of roasted Arbol, Ancho, Chipotle, and Gualillo chilies compliments this beer quite well. As Brewpublic\u2019s contributing writer, Cat Stelzer, states, \u201cUnHoly Mole offers up a nice chocolate flavor with a quick hit of chilies on the back to keep any potential chocolate sweetness in balance.\u201d \u00a0Definitely a beer to seek out!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/2014\/12\/20\/31-beers-of-december-day-20-lake-effect-brewing-unholy-mole\/brewpublic-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9943\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9943\" src=\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Brewpublic-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Brewpublic Logo\" width=\"193\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Brewpublic-Logo.jpg 193w, http:\/\/2beerguys.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Brewpublic-Logo-128x150.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/><\/a>About Brewpublic:<\/strong><br \/>\nBrewpublic leaves no beer behind in the quest to bring thirsty Brewpublicans information on the finest craft ales, lagers, yeast culture, and all things beer and brewing related.
