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 from Trembling Madness. Very dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla, like a chocolate cake batter. Flavour is more of the same with a touch of coffee bitterness. Excellent

Dark beer, thick brown head. Rich smell or coffee, dark chocolate and something a little boozy and woody too. Tastes of rich cocoa, toasty malt, cinnamon, some boozy warmth, maybe Tonka beans too which all makes a lasting, spiced chocolate finish. This is rich and smooth and I love it.
