Drinking Stone Xocoveza



Listening to Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood

 

@tolar111 excellent choice my fairly new friend. Love this sauce!

 

good morning! this shit is fantastic. hoping still around cause i need to get at least 1 more in my life!

 

Yeah this beer continues to amaze me. I've passed it over in the past because
I'm not a big fan of spiced beers, but everything seems to work in Xocoveza.

 

It's cold and wet this morning, not a fit time out for man or beast, the cat stuck her nose through her kitty door then promptly turned around and went back to bed. Since I'm not going anywhere there's time for something suited to the temp . . .






Dark burnt umber color with gold highlights and small cream colored cap.

Aroma of sweet caramel and toffee backed by chocolate dusted ripe figs.

Flavor on entry immediately reminds me of eating toffee. It's sweetish rather than sweet but there's a definite ripe fruit aspect to it along with chocolate and the richness of a full bodied Oloroso Sherry. Some heavier nut flavors as well. This is a seasonal holiday brew but it isn't loaded with spices, rather there seems to be an absence of them, yet it conveys a feeling of holiday along the lines of Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome Ale yet it has a deeper, richer flavor. It strikes me as more a Belgian style with a lighter touch. Very approachable yet complex enough to sit and ponder over.

Full, almost chewy texture with balancing carbonation.

There's a lot to like about and complement this one. It manages to bring out the fullness of roasted malt without the bitterness. Very refined and almost gentille drink.

Howdy. Good morning and happy solstice. Back to the usual local (Colorado) beer and eye-opener. Cheers!

Feels good to be in my house, if strange to be out of Chicago. And learned that my favorite taproom in the Springs has closed. F**k. This city sometimes...

 

Oh! What a great beer!

 

Excellent glass and beer, Xocoveza has become my favorite Stone beer, wish it was year round.

 

6% alcohol. Brewed in Ireland.

 

I am sitting on my bottle for holidays, I am same wish I got 2 and sadly they had a lot of each style and I got 1 of each, what a mistake that was lol.

 

I like it so much I doubled up on it.

The bar manager gave me that glass yesterday when I had Duvel Single on tap at the Biergarden in Albany. Great place, great beer selection.

 

That is pretty cool of them to do, sounds like a nice place.

 

The one on the left has beer in it, least my take anyway. That is making the color of the bottle darker.

 

Goodmornind advocates I hope everyone has a great day filled with amazing beers and on that note I got gifted some beer by my boss so I know Santa has to have me on his nice list
