What Our Editors Thought
“Spicy warming latte nose, almost chai-like with an earthiness that supports the sweeter elements. In the sip, it’s not nearly as excessive as the nose suggests, with sweet caramel notes tempered by a subtle drying spice. Finishes with a subtlety that’s surprising.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Cinnamon, vanilla, caramel, maple syrup, and hints of nuttiness in the aroma create the impression of decadent breakfast pastries. The coffee notes emerge more in the flavor and serve to temper the sweetness and balance things.”
What the Brewers Say
"Inspired by the cafes of Latin America, Cocoa Café is a chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon coffee milk stout."
