This American Stout presents a deep, jungle-dark appearance with subtle ruby highlights, topped by a persistent tan head. The sensory journey begins with an inviting aroma of roasted malts and light molasses, interwoven with the distinct, earthy richness of organic Mashpi cacao. Unique floral notes, reminiscent of the Mashpi river forest, emerge from a generous hop addition, blending seamlessly with resinous character typical of the style. On the palate, bold bittersweet chocolate and espresso-like roast are balanced by a firm bitterness. A medium-full, creamy body carries these native flavors into a clean, lingering finish of dark cocoa and forest blossoms.
