Stone Xocoveza

A consistently exceptional spiced beer, this latest batch benefits from a bit of time to warm up, dissipating some of its excess CO2 and initial sharpness. Beyond that is a highly tasty arrangement of chocolate, spice and peppery heat, kept in careful balance throughout. Cocoa powder, coffee and cinnamon offer lush aromatics that seem built for winter, and an interplay of rich, dark malts and peppery heat in the flavor keep it from ever feeling heavy.
