This is one of the easiest Mexicakes I've had. Mostly stout, roasty, with some subtle spicy kick, a bit of cinnamon and some dark chocolate. Easy and tasty, but maybe a bit too subtle?
Can. Malty aroma and taste, chocolate, roasty notes, light vanilla notes, medium bitter, light sweetish notes. Full body, oily texture, malty chocolate bitter finish. Ok.
Can from Beermalade. Deep dark brown color with thick beige head. Aroma of choclate, coffee, chilli. Taste is mainly chocolate with chilli, nutty notes, caramel, vanilla. Chilli coyld be better incorporated, till nice beer.
12 October 2021. At BeerGeek Bar, Prague. Cheers to the lovely Anke!
Cloudy black, stable, foamy, beige head. Aroma of milk chocolate, chocolate powder, vanilla, meringue, almond, coffee, tobacco. Taste has sweet prune & date in a thick chocolatey malt body with fudge & almond notes, touch of vanilla. Peppery hoppy finish, some umami soy, lingering chocolate powder & spices (clove), dash of warming whisky alcohol. Full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Rounded Pastry Stout, a great example.
Tap at BGB 7th birthday. Pungent aroma, oily, alcohol, chilli, chocolate, in order of prominence at first... Hm. Pleasant chocolate-driven taste initially, vanilla, peppery touch and a mild burn. Ends still slick, if a bit dry and strongly warming. Pleasant but a bit rough initially. Later, the chocolate-vanilla combo wins out in the aroma, quite enticing, while the taste shows a soy and malt touch that slightly makes it less attractive than before. Still, very good! --- Beer aliased from original tick of Xoco on 05 Oct 2021 at 19:12 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5.
