Our base imperial pastry stout, Viator Obscura (Latin for “dark traveler”), gets a complex grist bill with caramel, chocolate, and roasted malts before a 3 hour boil boosts our potential ABV and caramelizes the extracted sugars. Balancing hops are added to the boil and long, cool fermentation presents a smooth, chocolatey and sweet base stout.
Triple Chocolate is our GABF Bronze Medal winning variant that was conditioned on cacao nibs, cacao husks and cocoa powder.

My first bout with Wandering Monsters comes in a 500ML bottle. While watching The Witcher. Coincidence?
The pour is supple leather black with a few dots that my prescience says are congealed cocoa powder islands. The nose is, unsurprisingly, chocolate.
Viator Obscura : Triple Chocolate dances upon my all-time favorite food. The first gulp is delicious, but the appeal slides slowly downhill. What starts out as promised jigs into a sharper, less sweet version of chocolate that feels a touch stale. Certainly full, but the last 4-6 ounces might be a chore. Not, like, scooping dog poo, but folding clothes, maybe.
Solid. But with so much potential (said everyone's mother, always).
