Another installment of variations on our Imperial Stout Trooper, this one draws its inspiration from none another than Mexican chocolate cake. A pungent aroma of cinnamon hits you in the face with a luscious chocolate vanilla in the back. Tasting it leaves the cinnamon in the back with the cocoa and vanilla coming in playing nicely with the roast coffee and chocolate notes from the stout. After your first sip settles, a nice little help from the peppers comes in late but not forgotten

Eli's draught, 10/11/25.
Dark. Probably clear. Small, tan head.
Adjuncts are homogenized and not overdone. Light fudge, big dark chocolate. Touch of pine from hop. Not boozey.
Succulent texture is rich and chewy without being sweet. Cacao and rich vanilla with minimal cinnamon. Light hints of roast and a kiss of piney hops. Lingering caramel, vanilla and chewy,crunch chocolate. No alcohol noted. Love how much texture there is with such high attenuation.
