Mexican Cake Imperial Stout by Westbrook Brewing.

"[A] serious imperial stout aged on cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, and fresh habanero peppers." Very smooth. I didn't particularly taste the habanero for the first several sips, but it increased as it went, and then either my taste buds got used to it or it started being a bit less hot. Not as strong as Photon Sphere (by Olde Hickory), which is a good thing. Might be perfect if it was even a bit less peppery.

97% World-Class (4.4/5) on Beer Advocate. 10.5% ABV.

Upper 60s at 5:00 on a Friday afternoon in February, so we're at the Bierkeller by the river for Happy Hour. Outstanding roggenbier and brats.
