It's actually been cold here in Austin the last couple of days, and that means stout weather at my house. And while i don't normally associate Mexico with stouts, enter the
Calavera Mexican Imperial Stout from Tlalnepantla, Mexico. This 9% ABV libation pours a dark black with brownish head, and smells of malts, dark fruit notes, vanilla, and an all around roastiness. Flavors of malt, coffee, toffee, and chocolate make for a pretty standard imperial stout, but the vanilla notes in the mix really make the whole thing pop. It's definitely worth a taste if you're looking for something new.
