For this rendition of Hold On To Sunshine, we added a small amount of cocoa dusted truffles to amplify the cocoa fudge characteristics of the base beer. It has all the delicious flavors you are accustomed to - rich milk chocolate, dark brown sugar, creamy espresso, and chocolate covered peanut butter cups - with an extra layer of chocolate complexity. It is never overtly saccharin, with a firm coffee acidity balancing things out, making it enjoyable to drink as it warms. A fun experiment and one we are pleased to share with you.

Charlton draught, 5/7/25.
As pictured.
Good and round, well-homogenized, classic HotS. Little/no roast, no adjuncts or lactose jump out at you. Even the extra chocolate is pretty tasteful. No booze, sugar.
Rich malt with light lactose amplification of the sweetness. But the crusty chocolate and light roast easily balance. Good acidity, good dark fruit and chocolate. Tasteful adjuncts. Lovely rendition of my favorite of their lactose stouts (which isn't saying much, but this one is so well-done regardless of the lactose). Wish more of their lactose stouts were in this vein.
