We took a base of Munich & Vienna malts, then layered it with a mix of specialty malts to create a rich wort that was then whirlpooled with Cocoa husks to amplify the chocolate notes from the malts. Fermented with lager yeast and cold conditioned till we were left with a rich and smooth chocolate character.

Can from Cotteridge Wines and shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a mostly lasting off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, liqouirce charcoal, super light cocoa. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, with a light, slightly watery, liqouirce, light sweet chocolate, light pepper spice palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slightly frothy mouthfeel. Watery, lacked body, slightly over-carbonation and didn’t really get the cocoa. A big disappointment. Tasted mildly infected too. Possibly a quality control or canning issue. I have a second can. Hopefully that will be better.
