Review based on the BJCP2021 guidelines (style 30A: cacao husk and nibs, vanilla - base 16B). Cab 44 cl - batch 106/24 (BB: 08/2025 - Canned on 08/10/24). AROMA: initial low sulphury and metallic aroma that fades, giving place to medium roasted malt aroma. APPEARANCE: very dark brown color and opaque. medium-low light brown head with medium retention. TASTE: initial faint nuttiness followed by medium-high roasted malt flavor (almost burnt). medium-high bitterness with a roasted, dry and slightly burnt finish. MOUTHFEEL: medium-low body with medium carbonation. slight alcoholic warmth, too much for the base style. OVERALL: an oatmeal stout with added cocoa that is overwhelmed by a very strong roasted/burnt malt flavor. vanilla nowhere to be found.
