On tap at the brewpub, Durham. Pretty much the same impression that Sam had. Apparently they’re using the Wonka Wash name as a placeholder for their one-offs? Well, the chocolate certainly fits the appellation I guess. But as a beer it was pretty disappointing, with a weak consistency, a kind of sorry Tootsie Roll nose, and a flavor that melded weak tea with old power bars.

Tap At BCBB. Pours a copperish, muddy brown with a light white head. Nose is strong dark fruits, dates and figs in particular, some grainy cocoa. Flavor is akin to English style fruit cake, some nuttiness, light nutella, more dates. Weird and a much different beer from last years wonka wash spelled backwards.
