Beer: Stone - Xocoveza | |
Style: Imperial Stout | |
Source: Escondido, California | |
ABV: 8.1% | |
"Imperial stout inspired by Mexican hot chocolate. Brewed with | |
chocolate, coffee, pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg" | |
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 |
