14 Choco Cow

◎ Appearance

Deep brown-black body with opaque clarity, reflecting the 35 SRM roast. The creamy foam head forms a dense, persistent collar that clings to the glass with notable lacing. Carbonation is gentle, allowing the rich color and foam structure to command attention.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malts dominate the nose with pronounced chocolate and coffee notes, layered with subtle dark fruit undertones. The crushed cocoa beans contribute a distinctive, slightly earthy cocoa powder character that integrates harmoniously with the roast profile. Fermentation is clean, allowing the adjunct character to remain in clear focus.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with full-bodied chocolate and roasted grain, developing smooth, creamy notes as it evolves. Bitterness from the 40 IBU sits balanced, supporting rather than dominating, while coffee notes emerge mid-palate and build toward the finish. The texture is rich and velvety, with no harsh edges—a hallmark of the unfiltered, unpasteurised approach.

◑ Finish

A warming, coffee-and-chocolate aftertaste persists with clean decay, leaving behind residual sweetness without cloying. The moderate alcohol (6% ABV) provides gentle warmth without overwhelming the delicate adjunct character.
