Big Chomp
A stout with caramel and cacao that first appeared in 2020 and has been brewed again at the request of regulars. The head brewer describes a four-hour boil meant to build body and sweetness, giving a thick, luxurious beer. Biscuit, mocha and caramel latte lead the aroma; dark chocolate and roast coffee follow in the taste, on a rich, toasty malt base.
