Hello beer lovers and welcome to another edition of the
NorCal Beer Blog's brew review.
Tonight’s featured beer is Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero Mexican-style
Chocolate Stout. Since today is International Stout Day I am bumping this
review up in order to have it drop tonight.
From the Clown Shoes Beer website: “Roasted
dark malts plus extra chocolate malts plus ancho chile plus cinnamon plus
vanilla extract plus a chocolate loving, beer drinking, Clown Shoes wearing,
multi-limbed, gorgeous and glorious Mexican wrestler on the label. That’s the
recipe for a Chocolate Sombrero!”
Let’s get started!
Appearance: Pours
black with a nice tan head and excellent lacing.
Aroma: Dark
chocolate, roasted malts, vanilla, caramel, toffee, smoked chiles, cinnamon and
a touch of coffee.
Taste: Dark
chocolate, dark roasted malts, vanilla, cinnamon, smoky ancho chiles and just a
slight touch of coffee.
Overall: Well-crafted
and well balanced; Clown Shoes Chocolate Sombrero Mexican-style Chocolate Stout
is smooth, creamy and unique. The chocolate and malts on this 9% ABV Stout work nicely with the chile finish.
If you’re in the mood for something chocolaty and spicy you should try this
one.
Cheers!
Mark Harvey
