Stella Artois Midnight Lager

5.4% alcohol. Introduced in 2019. Brewed in the USA by Anheuser-Busch/InBev.

"When winter hits, we often reach for something a little special, a little richer, even a little darker. But we don’t always crave the same flavors and textures of the usual dark beers. That’s why we created Stella Artois Midnight Lager. This limited release dark lager has a light to medium body, balanced drinkability, 5.4 % ABV and surprisingly crisp, dry finish that helps make the season feel original again.

8% alcohol. Brewed in North Carolina by High-Wire Brewing.

"Imperial stout w/ chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, Pasilla & Carolina Reaper peppers."

No website listing.



Imperial stout w/ chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, Pasilla & Carolina Reaper peppers.
10W-40 Mexican Hot Chocolate has a thin, tan head, a very dark brown (nearly black) appearance, and minimal glass lacing. The aroma is of some vegetable matter & dark-roasted malts, and the flavor is of some bell pepper, cream, chocolate, a bit of hot pepper heat, and some metallic character. Mouthfeel is low medium, and 10W-40 Mexican Hot Chocolate finishes slightly sweet. RJT

Guayabera

5.5% alcohol. 50 IBU. Brewed in Florida by Cigar City.

"Traditional throughout Latin America, the guayabera shirt combines style, functionality, form and tradition in its four-pocketed design. We at Cigar City Brewing feel the same reverence and appreciation for the guayabera that we do for the Citra hop varietal, an ingredient that imparts notes of tangerine, lime and berries to this traditional American Pale Ale. The exclusive use of Citra hops in this beer creates a flavor that’s at once unique and recognizable, while its dry, crisp character and moderate alcohol make it as refreshing and functional as a crisp linen "guayabera."
