Triple Choc

◎ Appearance

A deep black pour topped with a dense, caramel-coloured head that holds firm and leaves traces of fine lacing down the glass. The body is opaque and viscous, with no light penetration. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, lending gentle effervescence without aggression.

◌ Aroma

Cocoa dominates the nose with striking clarity and presence, evoking roasted cacao nibs and unsweetened chocolate powder. Behind this sits a subtle toasted maltiness from the chocolate malt, with only a whisper of Fuggle's earthy, herbaceous character. No harsh roast or burnt notes intrude; the aromatics remain clean and approachable.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced chocolatey sweetness that spreads across the mid-palate, reinforced by the chocolate malt's rich character. A restrained roast quality adds depth without heaviness. The finish is shaped by a clean, earthy bitterness from the Fuggle hops—enough to prevent cloying sweetness, yet measured in restraint. At 4.8% ABV, the body remains medium and approachable rather than dense.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste lingers with residual chocolate and a faint herbal dryness from the hops, drawing the palate back for another sip. Clean and satisfying, without bitterness becoming harsh or lingering heavily.
