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.

[December 2021] Near black with a small bubbly tan head and smells like boozy chocolate cake (dark fruit, chocolate, maybe cream and vanilla). Full bodied, very slightly oily, tastes like boozy chocolate cake with a spicy finish

330ml can from the brewery. Poured almost black in colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, big chocolate. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, rich, roasty, chocolate, coconut, floral, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.
