White Rabbit Chocolate Stout

White Rabbit Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Australia · Stout · One of 48 Stouts in hopIQ

A barrel hall release built on a stout base and finished with organic cacao. The dark malts bring roast, coffee and burnt-sugar notes, and the cacao lays a dry, slightly powdery chocolate over them rather than sweetness. The body is fuller than anything in the core range without turning heavy, and the finish leans bitter, with cocoa husk and roasted grain carried on only a faint residual sweetness.

Deep brown to near-black in the glass, with excellent clarity and a tan head that builds decisively and holds with fine Schaumkleiden down the sides. The viscous, dark body suggests substantial body without opacity, while modest carbonation supports a controlled, long-lasting crown.

Aroma

Roasted grain and coffee dominate the nose with burnt-sugar undertones, while organic cacao introduces a dry, cocoa-husk character. A subtle smokiness weaves through, grounding the aroma in malt-forward depth without sweetness or candy notes.

Taste

The entry is full-bodied and malty, with roasted and coffee flavors establishing themselves immediately. The mid-palate layers in dry, powdery chocolate that avoids sweetness, while bitterness builds gradually from cocoa husk and charred grain, creating a lean, composed bitterness rather than harsh bite.
