White Rabbit Chocolate Stout

Tap to rate

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.

The entry is full-bodied and malty, with roasted and coffee flavors establishing themselves immediately.
