Commercial Description:
For the sixth year we have faithfully produced the next edition in our impressive series of annual limited beers. Copious amounts of Pale, Chocolate, and Munich malts gives the mouthfeel to this brew. Additionally, twenty pounds of East African Cocoa combines with subtle raspberry flavors to accentuate the beer's creative backbone. Though not laden with hop bitterness, we chose the Perle hop's mild spice and sweetness to complement the chocolate in this ale. Unusual care and a year of aging, as well as hand corking and a never to be used again recipe give this beer a signature flavor which should only improve with time. It is extremely limited, extremely strong, and extremely original, because as we like to say around here "It's All About Extremes!" 11.7% Alcohol by Volume.

Bottled, thanks jjpm74! Cloudy mahogany colour, no head. Fruity red currant aroma. Sweet and densely malty with cocoa and plum brandy. Full bodied with sensational tang of chipotles and raspberries. Complicated, warming and unusual.

Extra cheers to growler for the Newport Storm- very, very cool. Bright mahogany. Deep chewy candy, some molasses, apricot. Soft, very cherryish, a little oily. Some chocolatey character. Lots of maple. Beautiful, well-rounded, only a touch of late heat.
