COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask. Brewed using Roast Barley and Maris Otter Pale Malt which give a huge amount of rich body to the beer and a generous amount of English North down hops to create a bitter edge, the sweetness comes from the addition of Chocolate and Madagascan Vanilla

Hand pulled cask, one-third pint, at the W5 Hastings Bar, GBBF 2011. Deep black body, shimmering surface, fragile lacework. Blended aroma of vanilla and chocolate sweetness. Cocoa powder and vanilla in flavour. Hint of bitterness from a slightly roasted backbone. On the sweet side as expected. True to its name.
