A Note on This Beer

Get ready to party like it’s your birthday — the 2021 Mexican Cake is here! 

This Imperial Stout — brewed with cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, and Habanero chili peppers — is seriously sought after. So many people ask for it that the FAQ page on Westbrook’s website has 4 different sections dedicated to this beer. You all like it, too — the last 2 annual releases hold an average 4.23 Tavour score!

Westbrook Brewing fans are already flipping for this year’s release, like @Austin M. who says it’s the “the best they’ve done in years.” And @Jim N. who loves that it has “the perfect amount of heat on the finish!”

Mexican Cake delivers the flavors of a chili-spiced, chocolate-dipped churro, and drenches them in a bold 10.5% ABV. Cocoa, cinnamon, and mild chili on the nose give way to deep layers of rich chocolate on the palate. Vanilla and roasted coffee play against a whisper of habanero heat and even more cinnamon, with mild, lingering spice on the finish. 

If you have a birthday coming up, we’ve got your cake right here. And, if you don’t, who cares? Mexican Cake tastes just as good on your un-birthday, too!

The last 2 versions of Mexican Cake hold an average 4.23 Tavour score!

Holy cow. It was a stout for sure. All the flavors were there that it described. If you want a strong stout this one is definitely for you. Flavor was good, it just took me a little bit longer to drink. Lol.

Outstanding. First and foremost, this is a stout; the additions do not overpower. Habanero and cinnamon touches are very well done, not too forward.

pleasant chocolate, almost marshmallow taste and mouth feel, with a fun spice kick at the end

Somehow, I missed the habanero in the description. This is lovely and smooth, and then the heat kicks in and turns it up a notch. Thankfully, even with a capcaisn allergy, this can be hot without triggering it.

Nice cocoa and cinnamon flavors. Hot habenero taste at the end, but mild enough not to overpower the flavor.

Incredible. Didn’t know what to expect from the habanero but it sneaks up at the end and is just the perfect amount of heat on the back end of a tasty stout. Not overpowering but not wimpy either.

The habanero was a bit hot for my taste. Ancho chili pepper would've been a better choice IMO.

very good stout. habanero came through just enough to tingle the tongue. the mouthfeel on this one was great for a milky stout.

This was SO overhyped, both here and elsewhere online. I don’t get it. It’s good but Abraxas and Fremont and others are way better. Tasted thin and didn’t get much chocolate/vanilla/cinnamon flavor other than the habanero heat at the end.

I'm a fan of spicy drinks though it's hard to do it in a beer. Mexican Cake does that well while balancing all of the sweet flavors it contains
