Decadent and daring to push the boundaries. This stout presents rich and deep malt complexity.

Chocolate and roast flavours are matched by vibrant notes of raspberry and vanilla.

Purchased at the source in South Geelong in October 2024 and drunk in February 2025.

L: This one is black in the glass with ruby highlights where the light catches the beer around the edges of the glass. There's a thin rim of off-white head and a few bubbles spotted at the edge of the otherwise impenetrable blackness.

S: Big notes of raspberry and sweet chocolate. Very nice!

T: The taste is a big hit of sweet vanilla, milk chocolate, and raspberry, with a slight touch of roast at the back and an unexpected but pleasant warmth in the chest upon swallowing. The beer is so tasty and tangy that I immediately take a follow-up sip, which might increase the warmth I'm feeling. One thing for sure is that this beer is delicious; I'm struggling to recall a stout that I've had that expresses the vibrancy of fruit better than this one. A great job.

M: The beer is full and thick in the mouth but comes across as a little undercarbonated, which is usually a problem with sweet beers, but this one makes it work. There's a mild carbonic kick on the swallow.

O: This is an outstanding stout and absolutely worth grabbing if you ever come across it.

Cheers!
