Today’s Mexican Coffee Cake (2020) is far more than an Imperial Stout. It’s like the geniuses at Westbrook Brewing took a slice of chocolate cake with vanilla icing, dusted it with crushed chili peppers, dipped it in freshly brewed coffee, and laced it with a 10.5% ABV.

We’re obsessed with these sensational South Carolinians, who are famous for infusing their sinfully addictive Stouts with layers of nuanced flavors. They loaded Mexican Coffee Cake with cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa nibs, coffee, and habanero peppers, for a decadently complex brew. 

Each sip feels as indulgent as licking a spoonful of moist chocolate fudge brownie batter, drizzled with gooey caramel and sprinkled with spicy cinnamon. And just when you’ve relaxed into a state of dessert euphoria, a whisper of red hot chili peppers wakes you right up. 

Fans can’t get enough of Mexican Coffee Cake, calling it an “all-time favorite,” “delicious as always,” and rating it a staggering 4.42 on Untappd! @thomas_adair_photography on Instagram declared “This is the BEST stout . . . absolutely hands down, PERIOD.”

But unlike the coffee cake at your local cafe, this dessert-like brew only hits the taproom once a year! So grab a slice — *ahem*, a bottle — while you can. In fact, you may want to grab two, because this cake is much too delectable not to share.
