Mollusca
Wander Beyond Brewing

Out of Manchester England and Wander Beyond Brewing comes Mollusca, an 11% Imperial Milk Stout brewed with 11 different malts and re-fermented on oranges. Mollusca pours thick and very dark brown with with finger's worth of khaki tan head that lingers bit then dissipated leaving no lacing but a light tan ring around the glass. The smell is alive with orange peel up front, against the dark bittersweet chocolate, cacao nibs and a hint of vanilla. The taste, wow! Orange rind injects a bit of tang up front with a deep and complex dark chocolate, cacao nibs with a bit of sweetness from the vanilla. Thick and rich and very nice without a hint of alcohol burn.
