According to some, humanity is born with a built-in urge to do bad things. In that spirit, we tried to do something good when we designed this beer, using a massive malt base to create depth and complexity with the right amount of roasted malt and caramel notes. Upon that base we layered more than twice the amount of cocoa nibs that we’ve ever used in a beer before, along with a healthy dose of vanilla. What came out of the tank is a full-on dark chocolate parade for the palate – combining accents of milk chocolate,
vanilla, and freshly roasted coffee with a deeply, rich cocoa coating for the entire mouth. Some say that we’re all born into sin, so we may as well taste the forbidden fruit while we’re here.

Tap at 100 piv. Full body, medium carbonation. Med-high sweetness initially, over time overtaken but high bitterness, seems like a hoppy-roasted-cocoa combo in equal parts. Medium vanilla, lots of cocoa, med-light deep roast. Medium fruitiness, forest berries. Also moderate alcohol burn, this one is not shy at all, but the strength of flavour just about supports the warmth. Could use more complexity and mellowing of the burning booziness. Overall good but not great.

Tap at Valhalla Beer Club Prague. Brown-black body, off-white head. Quite a pleasant aroma, caramel, vanilla, chocolate. Kinder Maxi King style, which I like. Not even that boozy. The caramel-vanilla notes continue in to the taste, light raisins... actually, some cocoa but it's not primary here, which I would have prefered. Lovely notes, but gets too sweet honestly, and ends too abruptly. Still, an impressive beer.

Can from the strait and narrow. Black with a thick tan head. Aroma and taste are chocolate. Sweet milky chocolate to roasted bitter chocolate. Then more slight sweet chocolate to finish. Big bold bossy and chocolate.
