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.

330ml can. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived, frothy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, marzipan. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, silky, rich, roasty, chocolate, aromatic, red berry fruits, warm boozy, alcohol liquorice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

Clear dark brown to black beer, small creamy beige head, unstable, falls down quickly. Aroma: lots of chocolate, good roast, a bit oxidized, amburana wood, hint of toasted coconut, nice! MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lovely, lots of chocolate up front, a deep roast, slightly sweet, some caramel, a little bitter. Aftertaste: more chocolate notes, some amburana, good roast, very nice!

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.

Can picked up directly from Siren Brewery Dec 2024 and consumed sat in Frank (camper) in the car park next to Otto, Deggendorf, after a nice evening in. We're stopping for the night here. Earlier we did a fabulous hike in the hills up behind Deggendorf in the snow, it was great. Pours black with a little beige head, really thick in the mouth, lots of chocolate, it's a little boozy and warming but it's a nice feeling. Ver drinkable considering the abv, like drinking a very good quality chocolate.
