Surprisingly, they don't have cake in jail.
So let's celebrate being on the right side of the fence and wearing pijamas only at night with a special beer that's got the whole candy shop thrown in it.
Why trouble yourself with bars of soap when you can have tons of chocolate bars?

JAN-2020. Batch #2. Really dark brown, beige head with some lacing. The aroma is full of tonka, along with some chocolate syrup and sweet chocolate candies, just a touch of dark chocolate and maybe some hops behind. Similar taste - sweet, syrupy chocolate and lots of tonka. Light roasty and hoppy notes, maybe some (better quality) chocolate candies and light earthy - hoppy or spent coffee notes - but these do not save the game. Medium body, low carbonation. Ok, simplistic. 3,7/5.
DEC-2018. Batch #1. Almost opaque black, faint ruby highlights, decent mocha head. The aroma is thick and savory liquid chocolate, brownie pie, with a big but appropriate dose of sweet-and-spicy cinnamon-nutmeg-coconut and hell-knows-what-else tonka. The taste is right there as well, just sweet enough, spicy enough... For a beer that wants to be a desert. Has just a tiny bit of winey bite on the back end. Body is a notch fuller from what one expects from a below 10% impy. Yummy, if you accept the tonka (like I do). 4,1/5.
