Un Poco Loco Cocoa is one crazy stout loaded with milk sugar, a mix of dried chili peppers, Thai cinnamon sticks, Ghana cocoa husks and Tahitian vanilla added.

Pours a dark brown color with a reddish tinge; opaque in the glass; thick head, tan and spongy. Rather weak aroma; roasted grains and twinges of chocolate and cocoa are present but faint. The taste explodes with flavor; slow burning chili peppers start slow and build in intensity; big milk chocolate taste; vanilla; dark grain bitterness adds some complexity. Heavy body; dense and velvety texture; big chili pepper heat presence.

Oh, man!...what a great tasting beer. If you are looking for a chili pepper stout, this is one to try. It drinks big yet has a relatively tame ABV. This is a well-rounded and deeply complex beer.

Pouring temperature: 43 °F; canning info: n/a

I was happy to find this along with a nice assortment of beverages at the liquor store at the base of Steamboat.

It pours a beautiful black with fine head. The aroma warns of a sweet drink and it lives up to it with a big, thick stout feel. Big, boozy malts dominate.

Recommended. Nice find.
