Ransiki Temptation is the second collaboration with TAMAN Artisan Chocolates, which provides an author’s approach to creating authentic and unique, multiple internationally awarded chocolate. It is produced using shells and parts of cocoa beans originating from the Indonesian Ransiki region, whose growers were awarded a gold medal in the prestigious Cacao of Excellence competition in 2023.
This Imperial Stout is thick in texture and with high alcohol content (11%) with a rich cocoa base and intense chocolate notes. In addition to the chocolate flavor, flavors of chocolate, caramel, roasted barley and dried fruit come to the fore. It is thick and full-bodied, slightly sour with a medium-sweet finish. It is produced in a limited series of only 900 cans available in independent retail.

Can at Brūstok 2026 with everyone who was interested (and almost everyone loved it!). Blackish, very dark brown body, almost no head. Quality cocoa absolutely in evidence in the aroma - dried fruit, earthy, creamy sweetish... More of the same in the taste, lovely cocoa notes, dried fruit being the primary note, soft and smooth and intense, at moments too intense, but quite lovely!

0.5 l can. Thick dark brown, brown head. Aroma is intense cocoa at first, dark chocolate followed by molasses and chared wood. Hints of black pepper and ethanol. After it opens up a little bit hints of dried fruit appear and quite some black cherry. A touch of nougat and toffee with an alcohol-soaked cherry. Full body, sticky, sweet but cocoa trying to dry it out, some bitter astringency in the back, afterwards lots of warmth and peppery ethanol. Flavour is mostly cocoa and chocolate, roasty and toasty notes. Finishes medium dry.

Canned 500ml. -at Ambasada Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head that went away fast, dark chocolate and strong cocoa in the nose. Same in the taste with notes of chocolate mousse and hidden alcohol. Enjoyable.
