This is the finest, purest black cocoa straight from the source: the rugged mountains of Brazil, where chocolate is life. We smuggled these beans back to our brewhouse, where they were blended with creamy milk porter and fragrant Madagascar vanilla beans. Get cocoa'd up.

Bottle thanks to Matt. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong cocoa nib and vanilla. Medium mouthfeel with rich chocolate and light vanilla with sweet finish. Very impressive.

Strong on the chocolate syrup, some cocoa powder, burnt sugar and a bit of a creme brulee flavor but more chocolaty.
