No matter your favorite candy bar, it’s hard to pass up A LITTLE JOY. Aiming for a Chocolate-Coconut-Almond Candy Bar-inspired Pastry Stout was a blissful challenge, but the joy of almonds is always motivating. Conditioned on Ghana Kome Cacao Nibs, Coconut, Roasted Almonds, and Vanilla, this 10% stout invokes a delightful adult dessert bar. Exhilarating flavors of rich chocolate and sweet nuttiness parlay an indulgent beginning into a more nuanced array of savory almond and deep cacao that’s simply… joyful.

On tap at Fermentoren, pours a dark brown / black with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of coconut, almonds and cocoa upfront, with a touch of vanilla. Flavour is sweet and pastry-dominated, with lots of sugars, coconut, and almonds, with not much malty body. Needs more dark and heavy malts to support the sweetness and adjuncts. Decent.

On tap at Fermentoren. Pours black with a beige head. Toasted coconut, cocoa, almonds on the nose. Flavour has dark chocolate, some coconut; kind of falls a bit flat.
