pFriem Mexican Chocolate Stout
pFriem Mexican Chocolate Stout takes Mexican hot chocolate as its model. A milk stout of pale ale malt, dark crystal and chocolate malts, sweetened with lactose and bittered with Chinook, is built up with cacao and vanilla beans and seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg and Pasilla chiles. Smooth roast and a hint of spice run through the beer. Vanilla, cinnamon and cocoa lead the nose, spiced drinking cocoa, dried fruit and coffee follow, and the finish is round and semi-sweet with a full body and a gentle chile warmth.
