BREWED JULY 19 & NOVEMBER 11, 2014 The base beer is the recipe of 2014 Stone Homebrew Competition winner Chris Banker, an intensely flavorful milk stout brewed with coffee and spices to mimic the rich flavors of Mexican hot chocolate. IN THE MASH: U.S. Pale, Maris Otter Pale, Crystal, Black Patent, Coffee Malt & Chocolate Malt IN THE BOIL Challenger & East Kent Golding Hops SPECIAL INGREDIENTS: Lactose, Flaked Oats, Coffee, Vanilla, Pasilla Peppers, Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Cocoa AGED in French Oak Extra Añejo Tequila Barrels that previously held Bordeaux Wine CELLAR NOTES: We were so smitten with the initial batch aged in extra añejo tequila barrels that we brought in more barrels and brewed more beer specifically to fill them. The barrels smelled amazing, with aromas of vanilla crème brulée, dulce de leche and tequila. The result is both satisfyingly expected and surprising at the same time: Sweet caramel-like flavors, black pepper, vanilla and tequila notes meld seamlessly with the spice, roasted coffee and chocolate flavors of the base beer for a richly intense experience.

    Aroma: 8 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8

    Caged and corked 50cl $16 bottle, batch 06, pours with a nice dark body that supports a lasting semi tight tan head of foam. The aroma offers up marshmallow, chocolate, sweetened spicy wood notes, vanilla and slight prune like quality. The taste is smooth and soft with chocolate laced with thin ribbons of earthy tequila booze and vanilla sweetened spicy oak. It gets a bit more chocolate fudge like to midway before a modest level of spicy cinnamon and nutmeg bubble to the surface. This comes together wonderfully with plenty of balance and depth and the only knock might be the lighter than expected body.
