The beer that started it all. Caribbean Chocolate Cake is a dense, rich and luxurious stout – even more so this year with the smooth, thick drinking nitro edition. The body of this beer is full and decadent, encapsulating the ‘Cake’ element in the name more than ever before! Hand-roasted cacao nibs give hints of tamarind and soft lemon, along with a beautiful chocolate baseline. The malts provide coffee and roast notes in abundance, while the hop profile adds orange and coconut flavours. Spinning on Cypress wood is the icing on the cake - offering lightly toasted vanilla wafers and delicate tannins, balancing the inherent sweetness of the beer. Pure canned indulgence.

Can, 2021 version. Black color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, mild spices. Taste is chocolate cake indeed, not too strong, very characterful though. Velvety mouthfeel with fine-bubbled carbonation.

Poured from 330mL can (bb 06/11/21). Black with small tan head. Cacao and roast malt, not overly complex. It's good, but nothing amazing.

Can from Gedeelde Vreugde. Cloudy black, small, foamy, dark beige head. Aroma of prune, orange peel, toast, vague green apple, chocolate cake, coffee roast, vanilla, earth, wood. Taste has sweet prune, fig, even orange in a thick chocolate-malty body with nutty accents, low toasty bitterness, coffee powder note, bit earthy-umami. Herbal hoppy finish, lots of chocolate cake & coffee, powdery, subtle citrus in the back, warming brandy alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Rich and nowhere exaggerated in the Pastry department. Delightful.
