I would love to make a clone of the Westbrook Mexican Cake! Has anyone tried this with any success?
The description from the brewery is: Happy birthday to us! To celebrate our first year as a brewery we brewed a serious imperial stout and aged it on cocoa nibs, vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, and fresh habanero peppers.
I'm not sure how to incorporate all of these flavors effectively. When they refer to "aging it" on these flavors, would I just toss them into the secondary for a little while and hope for the best? Any suggestions on quantity of each ingredient or timeframe for aging? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Also, thoughts on the base beer would be solid too. Cheers.
