Using Duo with my son-in-law to critique a beer I brought back from Texas. Mexican style chocolate Stout has us both excited.
Seems to have poured light for a stout. Medium size head which disappeared almost before I could get a photo. Notes of chocolate and roast malt on the aroma. Texture is light but it's soft and very dry. A delicious rich roasted malt appears first and only until the finish does a dry cocoa chocolate begin to show.
It's disappointing to have to give a beer, that I like, a lower rating than it otherwise would deserve. But this is a Mexican Stout. None of the cinnamon or vanilla that defines this style was present. Misrepresenting the characteristics of the beer results in crushing expectations.
