We haven't brewed a beer with our friends at Track for ages so this has been a long time in coming. And it is worth the wait. This big luscious stout is like a decadent dessert packed full of delights that were layered in at various stages of the brewing process. Starting out with a complex malt bill to which we added Cacao husks to boost those delicious chocolate aromas. Then we conditioned the beer on cacao nibs, coffee and Madagascan vanilla to create a thick mocha like beer that is smooth and sweet. This one clocks in at 11% and is full of caramel, toffee, chocolate and vanilla flavours.

Oispa Mashissa. Sweet, roasty and earthy with loads of coffee, vanilla beans, some cocoa, hints of chocolate ashy earthiness. Smooth and sweet, a bit heavy and ashy IS.

can from gramophone bar, puerto de la cruz, tenerife dark to black, large brown head. aroma of chocolate cake and roasted malts, bounty coconut. Flavor is coconut, chocolate, roasted malts, to me, tastes a bit like cheap chocolatecandy, not sure why I don't find it very refined. its like the individual parts just doesn't really add up. To others, it could probably be very good.

330ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla. Taste is sweet, dark chocolate, vanilla, coffee, huge amount of bitterness from that too so for a pastry stout this is about as balanced as you could make it. Full bodied, thick and creamy smooth. I will say the adjuncts shine here and there's very little left by way of the base stout.
