The Legend Returns - Limited Run Of 100
In what is now a Blackjack family tradition we welcome every Christmas the return of an export-grade Stroopwafel Pastry Stout. This delight has been festooning the Xmas shelves every year for the last 5 years! And originates back to a collaboration with Brouwerij Kees back in 2018.
Don't know what a stroopwafel is? Well, its caramel sandwiched between two sugar wafers that you gently warm on top of your morning coffee for a sticky treat and an extra bit of perk to get the day going.
Darkwoods and our Headbrewer Kieran have chosen a single origin bean and Columbian grower, El Placer in Calarca Quindio. The Pink Bourbon coffee in question is hallowed for its buttery, chocolate sweetness and savoury tones, however thanks to the expert skills of Sebastian Ramirez of El Placer this is taken to another level as the beans are allowed to naturally macerate in the cherry and inoculated with lactic acid bringing out much deeper and complex savoury flavours from this already special process.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Black with a small off-white head. Coffee is abundant in both aroma and taste but its strength is fairly apparent too, albeit subdued to an extent by its smooth texture. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Kees Stroopwafel on 12 Jul 2019 at 20:09 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Keg @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Very dark with a creamy, slightly off-white head. Has underlying dry roasted malts with a sweetness to it, proving to be a good mix.
