You know that one really cool friend and that other really cool friend that you’re completely baffled as to why they haven’t met and hung out and become best mates? This beer reminds me of that magical day when those two dudes get together and vibe. Stone Brewing, in their unerring brewing wisdom have combined chocolate and tres leches flavors in a perfectly winter-ready beer.
Xocoveza Tres Leches Mocha Stout starts with a roasty, creamy imperial stout made with flaked rice and oats, plus a good dose of lactose. Then they layer in chocolate, coffee, vanilla, and cinnamon, topping it all off with black chili peppers. The result isn’t as sweet as it sounds, rather a smooth, creamy, flavor-intense sipper with a subtle kick at the end. At a healthy 8.5 percent ABV, this will warm you up faster than an Oaxacan hot chocolate and pairs perfectly with cold winter nights.
