CCC 23 Tasting Panel Pouring a clear black with a light tan head, this stout is one for the soul! On the nose unabridged baking spices, with cinnamon hitting upfront, uplifting fiery ginger guiding you to a deep clove moment, all packed into a gooey, warming dark bitter chocolate experience. I’m not drooling, you are! On the palate oodles of German Lebkuchen, chocolate covered ginger bread, spicy cinnamon, and an array of warming baking spices. Loud ginger carries indulgent chocolate to a creamy yet dry finish, with a lingering smooth dark chocolate aftertaste. Soft astringency balances the sweet notes, while offering enough structure to boost the spices to create a full bodied, high alcohol beauty! This may sound like stressy a-lot-going-on-all-at-once-kinda scenario, but fear not: this stout takes you by the hand, holds on tightly and gently lulls you into submission – you won’t regret opening it. Every now and then a beer comes into your little world for which you were not ready yet – this is it! Its bold, its chocolate, its baking spices, it is Death By CCC
