El Zacatón - Coffee

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the pour but more leaning towards black in the glass; a quickly dispersing little eggshell white foamy head died off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: milk chocolate up front then the chili peppers provide some heat with a light earthy to woody tone to it; light vanilla beans and coffee tones enter in for balance
Flavor: sweet and roasty with some spicy peppery heat entering in more with balance as I sipped the beer more; mild aftertaste of spicy heat, roasty coffee tones and sweet milk chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; the spicy heat hits my tongue but doesn't slay it as much as I thought it would have; finishes with the spicy head, milk chocolate sweetness and coffee roastiness
Overall: I like this imperial pastry stout and would welcome it again as a nice dessert beer for an ender to a night.

Pint can pours with a nice deep dark colored body that supports a thin tan head ring of bubbles. The aroma offers up chocolate, malt sweetened dark roasted coffee and then some vanilla bean. The taste delivers some rich smooth chocolate goodness blended sweetened dark roasted coffee. To midway somewhat rich vanilla bean depth is noticed just has a moderate level of chili pepper heat bubbles to the surface and taking the experience into the finish. The heat does build into the after taste to a fair degree of warmth. It's nice and well balanced with the rest of the experience.
