The recipe is built around cacao and vanilla and, by the brewery's account, brings chocolate ganache and rich espresso. Maturation in bourbon casks adds toasted oak and burnt sugar. Other editions change the wood: the 2026 vintage includes one from Islay whisky casks with peat smoke and brine. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
