Stone Brewing Xocoveza 8.1% / 2023 / 35.5cl

A Winter-Spiced Mocha Stout Inspired by Mexican hot chocolate

This highly rated winter-spiced mocha stout (a perfect 100 score by the founders of BeerAdvocate magazine) is Stone Brewing's gift to you this winter season! Generously layered with the warmth of cocoa, coffee, milk sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of chilli peppers, this beer is the perfect accompaniment to a colder time of year.

Tasting Notes:
Appearance -Pours black with a thick brown head.
Aroma -Intense cinnamon, cocoa and coffee are followed by nutmeg and peppers. As the beer warms up, the flavor combinations evolve and the cocoa and vanilla notes really start to open up.
Taste - Cocoa and cinnamon are at the forefront. The coffee, nutmeg and vanilla follow, and the fruitiness and heat of the pasilla peppers come through nicely on the finish.
Palate - Full bodied and very smooth with a light bitterness. The sweetness adds a lot to this beer without being too syrupy.
