HOPIQ TAKE

Spital Chocolate Stout if you want restraint and drinkability, Superstition Breakfast Stout if you want ambition and complexity. The Spital sits at 6.8% and lets the chocolate notes breathe without alcohol heat—it's a stout that knows what it is. The Superstition leans into its 8% ABV and breakfast-beer concept with more aggressive roast and coffee character, making it feel like a project rather than a casual pour.

TASTING NOTES

Spital Chocolate Stout

RoastedCoffeeChocolate

The Spital hits you with genuine cocoa on the nose, not chocolate syrup or artifice. On the tongue it's silky without being heavy—there's a restrained sweetness that doesn't cloy, and the chocolate actually tastes like it came from roasted malt, not a flavoring kit. The finish is clean and slightly dry, which keeps you reaching for another sip instead of feeling full after four.

Superstition Breakfast Stout

RoastedCoffeeRich

Superstition announces itself immediately with aggressive coffee and dark roast—this is breakfast stout that means business. There's cocoa in there too, but it's competing with espresso and a peppery alcohol note that reminds you of that 8% ABV. It's richer and more textured than the Spital, with a longer finish that sticks around and asks you to think about what you're drinking.
