Inspired by German Chocolate Cake, this ale was brewed with all sorts of specialty grains and roasted malts. Flavors are layered with dark chocolate, smooth vanilla, creamy toasted coconut, caramel and roasted pecans. According to our brewers, it is acceptable to pack on layers of happiness to stay warm during the chilly months.

On tap at Peders, pours a murky brownish black with no head — looks terrible. Aroma brings out ground pecans, chocolate and caramel. Flavour is intense on the pecans, with loads of sludgy toasted pecans, chocolate cake, and a hint of coconut. Sludgy, gritty mouthfeel. Not sure if the keg has disturbed this a bit. Excellent but seems suboptimal on the mouthfeel.
