Come to the dark side, again.

Our annual epic tribute to Dark & Wild is back with THREE breweries joining forces with us on a Maple Pecan Pie Stout.

To Øl are one of Denmark’s most acclaimed breweries, famed for their brewhouse and hoppy beers. Third Moon, from Ontario, Canada, are committed to make beer styles and flavours not seen very often. Finally, our third collab brewery is Emperors, who have an ambition to make the greatest imperials stouts the galaxy has ever seen.

This is a pastry stout loaded with cacao nibs, freshly roasted coffee from North Star and finished off Pecan and Maple.

440ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy dark tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light biscuit, caramel. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter, light sweet, with a rich, roasty, chocolate, dry coffee, light ashtray, liquorice bitter palate and a light oily mouthfeel. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

440ml can. Pitch black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate, maple, pecan, mild coffee roast. Taste is sweet, chocolate, maple, pecan, coffee roast, a little bitterness. Medium bodied, thinner than expected. Nice yet seems lacking compared to stouts they've done in previous years.
