This stout breaks through conventional boundaries with a triple-mash process and rich caramel malts. What truly sets this beer apart are the cacao nibs from Peru and India. The Peruvian cacao brings rich, pure notes of hot chocolate, with a creamy and rounded texture. In contrast, the Indian cacao adds an exciting mix of spices, fruity raspberries, woody tones, and even a hint of spice.

For the first time, we've used cacao from Daarnhouwer, the source where our "choco partner in crime," Krak Chocolade, gets its raw cacao beans. In the Daarnhouwer lab, we sampled and selected various types of dried cacao. This beer also includes 100 kilos of almonds, roasted to a darker shade for optimal flavor extraction.

Panda, thanks to Cloin. Pretty much a clear very dark brown beer, small bubbly dark tan head. Airy smooth palate, a little soft but late emerging decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth chocolatey malts, a little vanilla adds a mild layer of milk chocolate. Chocolate biscuits bring up the rear end, chocolate Digestives. A little chocolate liqueur before a fairly light finish. Smooth!

Can at home, from HOTM online, 10/11/24. Pitch black topped with a big old tan head. Nose is full on chocolate coated almonds, dark malts, light roast, spice, molasses, cacao nibs, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises chocolate almond torte, brown sugar melt, molasses, toffee, syrup, cacao nibs, mellow roast, balanced spice. Full bodied, light oily mouthfeel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost offered. Tidy pastry affair.

Can picked up from Hoptimaal webshop Amersfoort Netherlands had this at home Sunday 26th August 2024 in the company of Dad and Pauline listening to a mixed selection playlist from my choices from Tidal. We had homemade Pesto Lasagna for tea and earlier Dad, Loz and I had walked to Hilgenreith to a v.small Volksfest type event that the village fire brigade arranged. Pours shark eye black with a fast disappearing beige head. Rich cacao and a smooth nut (almond) laced hot chocolate. It's a very indulgent and creamy Impy Stout with a little spicy edge, not too much fruitiness but perhaps a hint of summer berries. Lovely.

Aus der Dose im 2024-08 getrunken. Ein tolles Nachtisch-Stout mit dunklen Schokoladen und Nussaroma. Die Süße balanciert die Bitterkeit der Röstaromen perfekt aus. Ganz klar ein Stout zum Löffeln und Genießen.
