Notes: Mexican Chocolate Stout was one of the first beers that Copper Kettle Brewing Company brewed after it opened in Denver, Colorado, in 2011. The beer won gold the same year at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in the Herb and Spice Beer category.
Mexican Chocolate Stout is a dry stout to export strength of around 7 percent ABV. To that they add chile peppers and cinnamon at two stages of the brewing process, along with cacao nibs in the fermented beer.
According to Copper Kettle’s owner and head brewer, Jeremy Gobien, Mexican Chocolate Stout is very sensitive to temperature, and warm storage can deteriorate the spice flavors. So keep it cold and drink it fresh!

Notes: # Extra Special Bitter (ESB)
The strongest of the bitters - Extra Special Bitter.
## Malt
This bitter is made from an English base malt with medium crystal, and a small amount of wheat and chocolate malts. It also has added brewing sugar and Golden Syrup to increase the alcohol content while retaining drinkability.
## Hops
Harlequin has been used to give a medium bitterness. Then a combination of Challenger and Goldings have been used for flavour/aroma.
## Yeast
The Fullers London ESB yeast (Wyeast 1968) has been used here to give a malty flavour and will leave some sweetness. Attenuation adjusted to finishing much lower than expected due to sugars used. |
