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.

Разочерование фестиваля. Дико алкашный, очень тяжело пить даже глоток. Несравним с Американцами.

Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, if any head forms here, it was too ephemeral for me to catch. Smooth palate, an entirely reasonable viscosity, decent fine minerally carbonation. Rich dark malts, good ice cream van chocolate syrup. I was worried this would be a nutty salty mess (and I feckin hate pretzels) but, the peanut butter sits well underneath the rich dark chocolate. The salty bitterness of the dreaded pretzels, (seriously, why does anyone like this super dry and bitter - salty shit?) is thankfully very light indeed. Smooth finish leaves a long dark chocolate and peanut linger. One of the better recent editions in this series.

On tap at Low Key Taproom Ashford. Black beer lasting tan head. Chocolate wafer aroma. Lovely deep dark chocolate. Lasting finish. Wonderful. Dark chocolate wafer biscuit. Pretty good. No hint of burn or alcohol. Lovely. Big of praline.

Can from The Fuss Club. Nose is chocolate cake, peanut butter, caramel, toffee. Taste is very similar to the above with a spot of cocoa coming through in the back end. Boozy sweet warming finish.
