Malts kilned until they have developed a chocolate flavour, the rawest form of chocolate and a good helping of the best cacao powder makes this an extremely drinkable mid-abv stout. Originally thought of as a limited edition, this beer quite literally forced its way into our line-up. Its ace all year round.

This is a nice, dry chocolate stout. It doesn't have LOADS going on. Chocolate, a little coffee, dry maltiness. Rich and tasty

Cask at GBBF. It pours deep brown - black with a small bubbly beige/tan head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, chewy, milk chocolate, malteser and a bit of Worcestershire sauce. The taste is drying, toasty, roasted malt, bitter - sweet, earthy, cacao nibs and milky chocolate with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Pretty alright, doesn’t come across artificial or anything like that.
