What Our Editors Thought
“Smooth, earthy cinnamon note in the aroma with firm chocolate biscuit, a bit of fresh rosemary, and echoes of light grapefruit peel. Semidry, with a lighter stout body that still manages to balance the drying spice without the peppers stealing the show. Beautifully balanced and eminently drinkable.”
What Our Panel Thought
“On the nose, a pleasant hit of cinnamon and chile peppers layered over a chocolate coffee base. Flavor is balanced among all the facets: The chile-pepper flavor mingles with the chocolate without being hot, the cinnamon adds a zing, the coffee is kept in check. Rich, well balanced in adjunct flavor, it’s sweet but not cloying. Very fun!”
What the Brewers Say
“Conditioned on fresh, locally roasted coffee, cinnamon, guajillo peppers, and vanilla. Perfectly balanced among the coffee, spice, and rich stout base.”
