The brewery: Cape May Brewing Company, Cape May, New Jersey
Description (from the website): "Our Mexican Coffee Stout has a satisfyingly complex grain bill comprised of seven different malts, yielding a rich and layered profile with a silky-smooth mouthfeel and a firm cocoa-like bitterness. Conditioned on fresh, locally roasted Mexican Chiapas coffee, cinnamon, guajillo peppers, and vanilla, Mexican Coffee Stout lands perfectly balanced amongst the coffee, spice, and rich stout base."
Would I buy it again? This is a coffee stout with a difference, as you can really taste the cinnamon and the peppers as you drink. Not in an unpleasant way, this beer isn't spicy in the "I need a glass of water" sort of way, just pleasantly and warmly spiced. It contrasts very well with the thick coffee flavor. There's no bitterness either, it's just a genuinely good beer to drink, and memorable too. I'd definitely buy this again.
