Beer Alternatives
hopIQ found 10 beers with the same roasted and chocolate character as Mexican Cake. A decadent imperial stout layered with cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon and fresh habanero peppers. Rich and full-bodied with dark chocolate and roasted depth, a warming vanilla-spice sweetness and a slow chili heat that lingers. A cult release that fans line up for each year, and the beer that cemented Westbrook's reputation for fearless brewing. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
