 |
Xocoveza |
|
|
|
Four beers left until Christmas and I'm hoping that they're all |
|
premium from here on out. This stout from Stone Brewing certainly |
|
is! I love the concept of a mexican hot chocolate flavored beer. |
|
It's dark and thick with a smooth, creamy texture. The cinnamon |
|
is noticeable and pleasant, and the peppers add an exciting element |
|
of spiciness. Stone is the king of heavy IPAs but I think they |
|
nailed this one. I would love a bourbon barrel aged version. |
|
|
|
- Would I buy it again? Yes |
|
- How much could I drink in one night? Two or three pints |
