Chocolate has entered the chat. Cacao Culprit arrives with a mission to challenge one of our most beloved barrel-aged stouts, layering rich Ghana cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla beans onto an imperial stout aged in Elijah Craig 8-Year and Four Roses 8-Year bourbon barrels. Decadent aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, and vanilla give way to flavors of chocolate cake, vanilla, and rich molasses, finishing sweet, silky, and luxuriously long. Whether it steals the spotlight is up to you.

4 oz draft. Aroma is bold Coco with a mixup vanilla bean. In the flavor, the chocolate is rich with a vanilla Center ending on mellow bourbon with no alcohol burn. But it does warm after the sip.
