Bourbon-aged cacao nibs, ageing on our used barrel staves and an infusion of soaked Cypress wood bring depth and complexity to this rich, delicious and very much unbarrelled Caribbean Chocolate Cake.

Can at home, 29th November 2025. Pours a black beer. Aroma is chocolate, cocoa, a little bourbon maybe. Taste is rich, sweet, a little complexity - nice

On tap at the Three Hounds Beer Cafe & Bottle Shop. Nose is dark chocolate, cacao, pecan, liquorice toffee. Bourbon hits you straight off in the taste, quite nutty, lots of dark chocolate & cacao. Rich warming finish. Nice.
