    Forgot about Bomb. Just recently did a tasting of all the variants (including Bible belt) and wasn't really impressed with any except the Pirate Bomb. Something just wasn't right about them.

    Xocoveza for sure if you can find any. Plenty for trade here on BA if you want to get your hands on it.

    Absolutely Stone Xocoveza, drinking this now as I type this! AMAZING brew, drinks like a mexican hot chocolate, almost has some yerba mate qualities to it.

    Got one of those. Don't know how I forgot to add it to my original list.

    Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti used to have a full on Cayenne Pepper finish. I thought it added a nice touch to it. Great Divide now has lowered that from the last batch I had.

    This one would stick out like a sore thumb, and it's a pretty divisive beer, but I'm personally a huge fan of Ballast Point's Indra Kunindra.

    On the lighter side of hot stouts... Duclaw's Cocoa Fuego and Clown Shoe's Chocolate Sombrero. If you can find the Green Flash Double Stout casked with cerrano peppers, recommend that as well.

    Ah, yes, knew I was forgetting one! The regular Mayan Mocha would be a fine addition (and I found it quite tasty myself).

    Not quite on the same tasting lines as your list above but if you are looking for variety I'd suggest ballast point indra kunindra. Has some pretty strong curry flavors coming through.

    I will be doing the exact same tasting with some good friends soon, right now I have lined up:
    Huna
    Abraxas
    Mexican cake
    Bomb
    Xocoveza
    Imperial end of days- pipeworks

    Working on a malevolence
    Might pick up clown shoes - Chocolate sombrero ( if I can find it local)
    Just saw flying dog is bottling- Mexican hot chocolate (they're out of my distro though)
    And I will be passing on ska's - mole stout because it's not my favorite

    Cheers

    A spiced stout tasting without Prairie Bomb! is sorely lacking. Xocoveza is quite sweet, but I think it would fit in quite well.

    Some other spiced stouts, not quite as sweet but very spiced, that might provide interesting perspectives, might include:

    Verdi - Birrificio del Ducato
    Fisherman's Stout - Cape Ann#
    Bomb! variants - Prairie
    Luchedor en Fuego - Clown Shoes*
    Bombay Berserker - Clown Shoes^
    Chocolate Sombrero - Clown Shoes*

    *Not particularly spicy for a chile stout.
    ^Very untraditional (nontraditional?) spiced stout. Very creative; very cool.
    #Habaneros vice ancho chile. Extremely spicy, but not quite at habanero sculpin levels.
