Cacao, Coconut + Coffee Stout

WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN ?
For the continuation of our nature-themed collaboration with Track Brewing in Manchester, we took a departure from our mutual hoppy tendencies to create a deeper darker celebration of the wild. We started with an intense, rich stout base, layering in complexity with a range of specialty malts for those distinct robust, roasty, earthy stout vibes, and paid homage to mother earth by infusing it with real, natural ingredients – raw cacao husks, toasted coconut flakes and Chilean coffee beans freshly roasted by our friends at Kafferävan. The addition of a little bourbon barrel-aged stout from our barrel room contributed a round vanilla oaky dimension that both softened and enhanced the bold flavors. Current staff favorite stout.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW THOUGH
A base of Golden Promise with Chocolate, Brown, Heritage Crystal, Red Rye Crystal, DRC and Carafa Special I malts, cacao husks layered in the mash and hopped for balance. Infused with toasted coconut and coffee beans and blended with a few barrels of bourbon barrel aged stout.
Dark and thick, velvety smooth and full-bodied, sweet up front with a slightly roasty finish, aromas of vanilla, whiskey, fresh coffee, dark chocolate with a hint of coconut nuttiness.
