    Not sure if this has been asked before, but just wondering what are your personal favorite stouts brewed with/aged on chili pepper varieties, cinnamon, etc. I'm looking for more beers like Prarie Bomb, Abraxas and Huna. Thanks

    Cellared regular Bomb a couple years.

    Had Huna on draft recently, was pretty strong on the cinnamon. Need to do a full bottle to get a more informed opinion on it.

    Westbrook Mexican cake does the pepper the best IMO. Reasoning, They use habenero (which is extremely hot), but they do such an amazing job with the pepper, that you do not get the gross* green pepper skin taste, you just get a little heat and it just makes your mouth tingle and throat tingle (not enough to burn). Abraxas and HUNA are also notable, but as for the use of a pepper, mexican cake takes the crown IMO. (AGAIN NOT JUDGING THE WHOLE BEER PROFILE, just how well each brewer used the peppers).

    Edit: as a comparison, Mayan Mocha from Oddside uses habenero, but if you cannot take heat, that brew will torch your mouth.

    I have very limited experience with chile stouts, but Dark Sky Brewing in Flagstaff, AZ makes a decent Serrano dry stout.

    New Belgium's Coco Mole was the best I've ever had.
