We love cinnamon. We love vanilla. We love chocolate. We love cayenne peppers. We love local. Meet Mexicake, our Imperial Chocolate Mexican Cake Stout. Copious amounts of flaked oats and lactose contribute a luscious mouth feel while the 100% organic cold brew coffee from Philly Fair Trade Roasters manifests the passion of a quality bean with a commitment to sustainability.

Great feel,smell,and appearance to this beer. Taste is vanila,chocolate,coffee,and hot spice. I think it is a very well made beer but the heat made this unenjoyable for me personally. I suspect it would have been a phenomenal beer minus the heat

Purchased at Wegmans as one of their "backroom" beers (it's not on the shelf, you have to request it from their stock room, and they limit the quantity that you can purchase). This is easily the spiciest beer that I have ever tasted. Pours almost pitch black, with a decent head. Smell is primarily of a very inviting chocolate brownie batter. There is an almost immediate cayenne pepper punch that lingers and dominates the other flavors, but I do get some chocolate and cinnamon. Mouthfeel is silky. This is decidedly a sipper, more of a novelty concoction, and is probably not for everyone due to the heat (it is HOT, as beers go), but being a fan of both the overall style and spicy things in general, I enjoyed it and would seek it out again.
