Blending Troegs’ Grand Cacao Chocolate Stout with Mad Elf’s spiced-up Belgian strong ale, boozy (8.7% ABV) Christmastime celebrator links creamy chocolate brownie fudging to outweighed pureed cherry bruise. Along the way, chewy toffee sweetness gains sturdy date-fig-raisin conflux, latent cola-hazelnut-macadamia splurge, holiday mulling spiciness and roasted coffee perk before finishing like a chocolate cherry cordial.
