Our take on a chocolate turtle candy bar. Loaded with Ghana Cacao nibs that add a rich milk chocolate profile that opens way for sweet caramel, and nutty pecan for a full-on candy bar experience.

Excited to review my first in the curvature series! Oily black with brown speckling and a short lived hear. Smell gets the super rich chocolate right away, with lush caramel, pecan, and a kiss of vanilla. Taste follows the nose with how rich and deep the milk chocolate is, with the caramel, pecan, vanilla, and slight pretzel creating a beer that is the closest thing I have had to liquid a klondike bar. Exceptional! Feel is thick, velvet smooth, viscous and slightly chewy. The hype is real, but I shouldn't be surprised, love P3! I agree with Guy, please let this have been barrel aged! The wife loved it

Released 5/22/20; drank 5/24/20 @ Hannah's.

Midnight black appearance.

An even pour yielded a small dark tan head which quickly dissipated; thick, tree-rung lace.

This smelled like a "turtle"; rich milk chocolate, caramel, and some mild nutty notes.

A silky, luxurious mouthfeel.

Taste follows nose here; this tasted like an amazing turtle melted into liquid form.

Hope some of this saw a barrel...regardless, an excellent stout.
