We love making beer with our friends, especially when it's Mitch and Ben from Dageraad. For this dark rich holiday treat we used rolled oats, chocolate wheat and Special B malts fermented with belgian yeast. This gives the beer its distinctive rich, spice cake quality. Once fermented we let it rest on a good dose of organic cacao nibs for something sure to warm your soul on these colder, cozier winter nights.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a deep dark brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out gentle cocoa upfront, with light Belgian yeast and some earthiness. Flavour is fairly dry, with plenty of dry cocoa, Belgian yeast, earthiness, and soft bready malt. This is frankly impressive; dry cocoa combines well with the Belgian yeast. If you think of this as a chocolatey Belgian ale rather than a stout, this makes a lot more sense. Very good.

473 ml can. Pours a dark brown with full head. Aromas of oats/cereal, nutty milk chocolate, and a bit of plastic. Flavors of roasted malts/barley and sit a bit of chocolate. Maybe some Dageraad yeast. Odd. More porter-like than stout. Meh.
