À propos

Tempest Brewing Company's Bourbon Barrel-Aged Mexicake is a bold Scottish Imperial Stout built on chilli and chocolate at 12.4% ABV. Matured in bourbon barrels, this full-bodied beer marries vanilla oak with cacao, Ceylon cinnamon and a subtle chile pepper heat. The nose delivers intense vanilla, bourbon warmth and spiced oak with toasted undertones. On the palate, caramel and milk chocolate lead, supported by roasted malt, while chillies add a peppery finish. The aftertaste is spicy and coffee-tinged with a pleasant dryness. This is a stout to sip slowly—smooth, not overly sweet, and well-balanced between bourbon richness and warming spice.
