Welcome Back to the Eternal Hoptimists,
Today we are checking out our first beer from Alphabet Brewing. This is a hefty 11% Chocolate, Coconut & Tonka Imperial Stout, i would be lying if I said I didn’t have high hopes for this one.
1. Name : Hyperlocal Delicacy Australian Crunch.
2. Brewery: Alphabet Brewing (Manchester)
3. Hops : Centennial
4. Grain : Barley, Oats
5. Aroma : Strong Chocolate notes with an almost Turkish delight undertone
6. Appearance : Really dark, with a tight milk chocolate coloured head
7. Body : Medium to full bodied, good carbonation with poor head retention.
8. Taste : Layered dark chocolate and sweet coconut with an under cut of Tonka bean, morphing to a alcoholic mouthful akin to that of a chocolate liquor.
Allergens: Contains Gluten
This was a very warming drop indeed, it really sticks to your ribs, and it has a alcohol kick that makes you feel like you can breathe fire afterwards. Absolutely outstanding, definitively a sipper though not one to drink quickly as there would be consequences.
Our overall rating: 4.3/ 5.0
