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.

Not so much aroma, chocolate. Taste is nice, without blowing the mind. Lots of choc. Really easy going. Marshmallow?

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Clapton Craft. Pours dense black with a hefty, frothy brown head. Good and rich, lots of hearty chocolate, some ash, drying wood, alcohol, raisins, espresso. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming and drying on the finish, plenty of bittersweet dark chocolate. Solid.

330ml bottle. Smooth, sweetish and slightly roasty with loads of coffee, chocolate, wood and cocoa notes, hints of vanilla, banana and coconut. Okay, more of a traditional is than a pastry stout.
