We backed up a Tonka truck full of tonka beans for our latest release. Opiliones is a full bodied malty and chocolatey stout infused with fresh Brazilian tonka beans, Peruvian cacao nibs and vanilla. This fragrant and slightly spicy bean adds an unusual yet intriguing, perfumed aroma, backed up by an expected chocolate ice cream flavour derived from the malt, nibs and vanilla - and we used a relatively simple grist comprising of 5 different malts to enable the adjuncts to sing and dance.

Tap at Indewildeman, 19th May 2022. Pours black. Aroma is sweet chocolate and tonka, musty. Taste is very sweet, lots of tonka, and milk chocolate. Not great
