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.

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.

Bottle. Aroma is light roast, milky, bit of smoke maybe even a bit fruity. Smooth, creamy, roast again, little bit of spice, punchy and fruity. Lots of taste for the %. Dark fruit and something tropical too. Milky finish. Cracker!
