Mexican Chocolate Cake Stout | Fort Collins Brewery (FCB)
ABV: 7.1%
IBU: 40
Style: Stout - American
Actively Produced
Description: Fort Collins Brewery is well known for our Chocolate Stouts and over the past few months while developing our new Shot Down Chocolate Stout we conducted a great deal of research on various ingredients and types of stouts. At the end of all of this research and development we decided that we wanted to create a unique stout utilizing this knowledge we had gained. Owner Tina Peters was inspired by the flavors of Mexican Chocolate and challenged our brewer’s to create a Mexican Chocolate Cake inspired Stout. To achieve this we worked with Boulder Based Cholaca who produces pure liquid cacao. We added 25 gallons of Cholaca pure liquid cacao to a 7% ABV stout to create an intense chocolate flavor. In addition to the liquid cacao we added vanilla and cinnamon and then rested the stout on 30lbs (10 lbs each of) Serrano, Pasilla, and Poblano peppers. The resulting stout has a moderate to slightly heavy mouthfeel. It has an intense chocolate flavor balanced by vanilla, spicy cinnamon, and a slight touch of heat and flavor from the pepper blend. The combination of flavors with the restrained sweetness and mouthfeel of this beer beautifully emulate the flavors of Mexican Chocolate cake aptured conveniently in a delicious Chocolate stout.
