On tap at Rush Creek Lodge near Yosemite. Pours black with brown highlights and a brown head. Cocoa and cinnamon predominate the flavor, with slight head from the chili in the background. Flavor is well balanced with a bit more of the chili showing. Slight dusting of the pepper and cinnamon. Really nice and well balanced all around.

Ein Bier, das mexikanischer Trinkschokolade nachempfunden wurde. So ist dieses Stout mit Aromen von schwarzer Schokolade, Kakao und Chilli verfeinert. Das ist auch wirklich gut gelungen -wenn man halt ein solches Getränk mag. Aromatisch hält es, was es verspricht. Es ist halt etwas sehr spezielles, das nicht jedem schmeckt.

Can. Pitch black, medium sizedbeige head, creamy and pretty lasting. Milder chocolate nose, some spices, mostly cinnamon, slight nutmeg, a bit of roastiness. Milder sweetness, quite some spicess in teh finish, nutmeg comes through. Slightly spicy inthe finish and lasting aftertaste. Fuller body, silky. Too much nutmet, but not bad.

Can, 0.355l. Murky deep brown, almost black pour. One finger frothy brown head, short lasting. Medium lacing on the glass. Sweet and spicy nose, strong cinnamon notes, nutty, somewhat fruity background. Medium body, soft carbonation, refreshingly fizzy. Chewy texture with slight creaminess to it. Nice mouthfeel overall, perhaps a bit lighter than expected. Roasty bittersweet taste with a spicy kick. Aroma of coffee, chocolate, cinnamon. Vanilla, molasses. Nutty, earthy notes. Spicy peppers. Lingering roasty bitterness that slowly builds up. Sticky. Medium lasting finish, dry, bitter and spicy. Interesting beer to try.

Strong gusher caused the unpleasant mess, points off for that.

APPEARANCE: deep brown, dark color, cola hues under the light, small brown head with very tiny bubbles

AROMA: adjuncts driven aroma with cinnamon & nutmeg in the foreground but luckily doesn't overpower the whole thing; bitter sweet chocolate with mild vanilla, cocoa powder, light dried chilies, toasted bread, brown bread and hints of bread crust, moderate sweetness of toasted sugars, brown sugar, hints of oatmeal and green peppers, no obvious roast & hop profile on the nose, neither coffee

TASTE: light fluffy carbonation, medium body with lightly syrupy and oily mouthfeel, a bit thin on the edges; light sweet onset of brown sugar, syrup and caramel that is quickly cut by a harsh bitterness of roasted malts and hops - burnt grains, chicory, wormwood, bitter barley coffee and grapefruit peel; light alcohol glow supported by a light chili heat, mild cinnamon and nutmeg but way less noticeable than in the aroma, hints of black coffee with woody undertones, mild to light soapy presence in the middle; more chili heat in the second half of the can, subtle umami and blood notes in the background; notes of high cocoa chocolate & coffee; lingering roast bitterness and chili heat in the aftertaste with gentle spices - cinnamon; hints of earth, very restrained vanilla

OVERALL: to bad for gushing, otherwise typical Stone bite in form of harsh roasted bitterness and chili heat, lacks in mouthfeel and body, a bit soapy and unbalanced at the edges;

Ma ei mäleta kas ma usa versiooni olen joonud... Aga see on way mõrum kui berliini oma... Väga tugev kõrbenud mõrudus ja päris happeline. Saksa versioon meeldis rohkem.
