The ABV of this beer changed from 7.4% in late 2020, and it has since been introduced into the Vocation core range.
The recipe for Naughty & Nice remains exactly the same as always except that we have dialled back the ABV to 5.9% now that it’s going to be with us year-round. Reducing the ABV increases the drinkability – it’s still a hefty beer, but just that bit more quaffable.

Chocolate stout by Vocation, can at De Koffer in Groningen. Pale mocha-beige, dense, medium thick but breaking and opening head on an ink black beer. Aroma of melting fondant and milk chocolate, chocolate ice cream, latté macchiato, hazelnut paste, candied dates, toffee, cocoa nibs, Ovaltine, vanilla, pecan nut pie, peanut butter, hint of black peppercorns. Sweet onset yet nowhere sticky, hints of yellow raisins and candied dates with an ever so slight sourish edge, softly prickling carbonation in a full, oily mouthfeel. Chocolate malts with a nutty and toffeeish edge under a heap of actual sweet chocolate (coffee ice cream – evolving into mocha ice cream as the more roasted part of the underlying malt base grows stronger). Something plum-like and sourish keeps running underneath, balancing out the sweetness; hops remain virtual and go by almost unnoticed so that apart from some warming alcohol, nothing additional seems to happen in the finish. The chocolate flavours fade away in the end. Bit of a one-trick pony, indeed delivering a very chocolatey experience without going all cloying and sticky; slender, well-measured and to the point, nothing too complex but certainly qualifying as a delicious chocolate stout.
