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.

330 ml can. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of Amburana, dark rich chocolate, fruity vanilla and slick roasted malts. Flavours follow same. The wood is beautiful. Rich and tasty.

Dark brown, thick head. Nice chocolate aroma, touch of alcohol, the tonka shows through, but oh yeah that beautiful amburana spiciness. It's been a while, and I absolutely love what amburana does to beer like this. Super rich on the palate, sweet, thick, with a cinnamony, amburana thing going on, all kinds of chocolate. It's like taking a late night churro and chocolate, but transporting it from CDMX to Sao Paulo. Love it.

Can. Pours black with small head. Aroma is nutty, chocolate, caramel. Lots of underlying wood and spices. Cinnamon and cacao. Big body, smooth and luscious mouthfeel. Flavour is complex dark malts, with cacao, chocolate, some lactose, caramel and fudge, molasses, prunes. Then wood and spices. A beautiful rich imperial stout.

Brownish black with a thin head. Aroma of chocolate brownie. Flavour is sweet boozy chocolate sponge cake, vanilla, caramel on a soft dark fruit finish.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Clapton Craft. Pours black-brown with a dense, cascading beige foam head. Delicious beer, lots of chocolate, coconut, toasted malts, raisins, some burnt caramel, vanilla. Medium to full bodied, lightly oily, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, lightly sticky, more luscious chocolate and coconut, soft earthy bitterness. Excellent.
