Death by Chocolate Cake. What would happen if we took one of the nation’s best loved, super-indulgent desserts for inspiration, and applied it to our most indulgent beer? Even more cacao nibs, even more Cypress wood, even more depth. It’s doubled down and ramped up to imperial strength. The Amburana is still critical. Its spicy, fragrant spirals impart all kinds of different flavours, not dissimilar to the complexity of tonka beans. It's remarkable how we all seem to pick up something different from them.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Sweet dark chocolate aroma with roasted malt, thick chocolate cake, cacao nibs, notes of wood and soft vanilla, mild fudge. Flavour is sweet with a fairly firm roasty bitterness. Full body. Loads of chocolate, lovely bittersweet Chocolate Stout.

Аромат очень шоколадный, много какао бобов, есть намеки на ваниль, но сладости мало, зерная кофе, схожесть с несквиком, есть корица. Легкие пряности. Цвет ченрый, немного маслянистое тело. Во вкусе уже больше какао чем шоколада, хотя и его тонна. Сладости уже немного больше. Больше ванили при глотке. Долгое финиш с какао бобами и коринец, немного терпкости от темного шоколада.

Аромат сладкий и немного пресный, чутка сладкого шоколада, нотка ванили, какао и древесности. Пена классная, густая, кофейная, мелкопузырчатая. Цвет не черный а сильно темно-коричневый. На вкус среднее тело, сразу немного алкоголя, изюм, древесность, затем кислинка при глотке. Послевкусие умеренно сладкое, ваниль, нотки шоколада и какао. Имеется весьма сильная горчинка от хмеля, древесная тоже, легкие нотки сливы и вина в общем. Сильно но приятно обжигает горло.

Can 33 cl. Pours an opaque black with an orange hue and a tiny, rough, brownish head. Sweet vanilla and what seems like coconut, but probably rather is the amburana - very complex. Rich, sweet, chocolatey flavor, again with vanilla coming through and a cake like sensation. I have not previously been an amburana fan, but here it works perfectly. Delicious. The finish reveals some lesser clean wooden accents. 140223
