Stone Xocoveza Tres Leches combines the inspiration of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate and Tres Leches treats in an imperial stout that’s smooth, creamy and intensely indulgent. Made from all that’s good about the holidays, Stone Xocoveza is brewed with chocolate, coffee, Pasilla peppers, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. At the pop of the can, the aroma is intense – cinnamon and spice up front with lingering coffee, caramel and sweet vanilla. It is a lively blend of flavors. Sweet spices are balanced with rich and creamy chocolate. Mild roast coffee flavor shines through and vanilla enhances the intense combination. Pasilla peppers impart a light hint of heat in the finale. With all that complexity, the beer is surprisingly bright on the palate, with just a touch of the residual sweetness that all the decadent flavors imply. Like a slice of Grandma’s tres leches cake and a sip of Oaxacan Hot Chocolate, the result is creamy, intensely flavorful and silky smooth.

On tap at Stone Escondido, pours a deep dark brown/near-black with a small beige head. Aroma has intense cinnamon, light chilis, cocoa, and roast. Flavour has some deep malts that give way nicely to the cinnamon and chilis, with a dry cocoa finish. Spicy, robustly malty, and balanced.

12oz can from Beers of Europe, drunk at home. Dark brown and opaque with a quickly dissipating head. Milky caramel and chocolate notes with some sweet spice. Sweet taste, a little bit of a plastic note, some bitterness in the finish. Nice full body with medium carbonation. It's okay, tastes a bit odd but certainly drinkable.

Tap at Skaal, Copenhagen 05/01/2024 Somehow have missed this one over the years, sweet dark milky chocolate with some vanilla and caramel sweetness, light coffee and brown sugar sprinkle, just a touch of spice evident, medium creamy body and mouthfeel, sweet and light roasted malty finish.
