The beer that started it all. Caribbean Chocolate Cake is a dense, rich and luxurious stout. Hand-roasted cacao nibs give hints of tamarind and soft lemon, along with a beautiful chocolate bass line. The malts provide coffee and roast notes in abundance, while the hop profile adds orange and coconut flavours. Spinning on Cypress wood is the icing on the cake - offering lightly toasted vanilla wafers and delicate tannins, balancing the inherent sweetness of the beer. Pure canned indulgence.

Cask at the Bear, Paddington on 10th November 2023, on the house as a birthday gift. Sepia-impenetrably black with deep brown foam. Rich and intense earthy roastiness in aroma. Lush dark chocolate in-mouth with sour cherry notes and earthy roast maltiness. A touch of smoke. A rich dark chocolate finish. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Nice and thick, good sweetness but still very bold. Glad you spotted this one Matt L.

Bottle (G1217 Best Before 120221) pour from Fort Point Market, Boston. Appearance is opaque inky black with nice viscosity, no sparkle, many light floaties, less-than-finger-width beige head fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is baker's chocolate, earthy roasted malts, wood. Taste is chocolate, lactose, wood. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice feel; taste and aroma follow each other and are pleasant enough but neither decadent nor terribly complex for the style.

Tap @ Fermentoren, Aarhus. Pours black with a medium brown mocca head. Aromas of slight smoke, slight rum, coconut, dark chocolate, burned coffee. Taste is slighty smokey and roasted with some coconut and has alot of fruity sweetness to it. Ends in a dry, smoked and woody taste with some of that before said sweetness to it. Some bitter cacao aswell.
