Staked through the heart with an unnerving dose of Tahitian and Madagascar vanilla beans and laid to rest with local cold brew from one of our favorite local roasters, there’s a chill in the air as this one rises from its bed of rich, nutty Maris Otter and a complex array of specialty malts. Spine-tingling aromas of fresh chocolate chip cookies, cacao nibs, and rich brownie batter mingle with complex flavors of chocolate-smothered espresso beans, brown sugar, and coffee ice cream. Can you feel it watching? Don't stray from the path. (Contains lactose)
