This is the fifth beer in Clown Shoes 12 beers of Christmas collection. I've had a few of their Sombrero stouts before with mixed reviews. Hope this Mexican style coconut flavor is good.
Both of us had the same result when opening the can, a lot of head and foam spilling out onto my tray. In the glass, it again had a super high head that made us wait a long time before trying it. Aroma gives both vanilla and coconut. Texture is smooth and soft with the effervescence again showing itself. Vanilla is the first flavor, a little stronger than the coconut it's combining with. The vanilla came across as a raw flavor while the coconut seems slightly charred. In the finish a cocoa chocolate appeared, not the milk chocolate I would expect from a Mexican style beer. None of the cinnamon that is traditional to Mexican chocolate, perhaps the slightest amount of black pepper late.
Overall it's still a pretty good beer but my expectations were too high. The lack of cinnamon was disappointing and the effervescence was too intense.
