Inspired by the irresistible combo of peanut butter–coated pretzels dipped in rich chocolate, Dips & Pieces is a rich and indulgent imperial pastry stout.
This recipe features a layered malt bill of Carafa Special III, Melanoidin, Chocolate Malt, Wheat and Oats for a sticky, full-bodied stout with intense roasted dark chocolate notes enhanced by mountains of cacao nibs.

Keg at Cool Head Craft Beer Garden Festival 2026.
The beer poured near black in color.
Nutty aroma with some granola. Quite sweet, very flavorful though. Bodied with a syrupy touch.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 26/08/2025.
Pitch black topped with a khaki cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is chocolate, spice, peanut butter biscuits, molasses, toasted brown sugar.
Taste comprises chocolate, peanut butter bite, dark malts, toffee, booze tunes.
Full bodied, light oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Solid sipper.
