    I'm traveling the states right now and what I found out is the spiced (cinnamon and chili) stouts are really trending. I really liked them and they all use similar adjuncts (cinnamon, chili, vanilla, cocoa..) but have different taste. So I was going to have a spiced stouts tasting when I get back to home and was wondering what your favorite spiced stouts is?
    I tried
    • Stone Xocoveza
    • Prairie Bomb!
    • CIgar City Hunnaphu
    • Eviltwin Todo Jesus
    • Westbrook Mexican Cake
    • BA Framinghammer - Mole
    • Finback Harambe
    and my best is Huna > Mexican Cake = Bomb! = Mole Framinghammer > Xocoveza = Jesus = Harambe.

    I like;
    • Prairie Bomb!
    • Prairie Pirate Bomb! (rum barrel aged)
    • Central Waters Cassian Sunset Bourbon Barrel Stout (cinnamon and vanilla)
    Several of the others you mention are reportedly excellent but unfortunately not available near me.

    I tried Rogue Sriracha Stout last night, and while it did have some nice heat to it, that's about all it had going for it. Would have been better with more chocolate.

    Xocoveza was such an amazing beer. My wife tried it for the first time and told me I had to get more. I did... 'Nuff said. Her opinion aside, it's the best use of spices I have yet encountered in a commercial beer.

    If you want a certain food or want a horchata, have one. Hilarious to me that NYFRB and the like are now universally beer geek frowned upon but all the other foodbeers and drinkalikes are highly sought after. Well...NYFRB was too before the mass distro and cries of it not being beer.

    Huna was clearly the best I've had, with Mexican Cake right behind it.

    Xocoveza and Rise of Mayan Dog. Oh heavenly lightness! is what I think I said when I tasted the Mayan stout with honey. Also dogfishead bitches brew.

    Ska Mole seasonal stout was fun in the fall, and pretty light.
    otherwise, Stone Xocoveza all day long...

    Xocoveza for big flavor and SN Rain Check for a lighter touch.

    Well, my favorite is the retired Cinnamon Roll Wake-n-Bake by Terrapin (just ciinnamon, no heat). Also, very good is the Al's of Hampden/Pizza Boy Sunny Side Up variant with Guajillo, Chile & Cinnamon (but you won't find that anywhere but the brewery).

    Other than that, I'll add a +1 for Xocoveza.
