A Note on This Beer

When Hershey’s introduced the Mounds candy bar in 1920, it came with the slogan, “Indescribably Delicious.” 

A hundred years later, and it’s still a fitting description for all treats chocolate-coated and coconut-filled. Like today’s Coffee Coco Van Imperial Stout! 

This dark delicacy tastes like if you took a bunch of toasted coconuts and swirled them in with enough chocolatey dark malts to put Willy Wonka out of business.

Which is what the Dark Beer masterminds at Hubbard’s Cave did! Only they also added a hefty dose of vanilla beans for extra scrumptious sweetness. And they didn't stop there! The brewers swirled this dark delight with a custom blend of Sumatran and Honduran coffees from a local roaster for rich espresso undertones and an even silkier body.

Then to top it all off, they wrapped this liquid dessert in a boozy 12% ABV! 

Send me a message if you can find a better way to describe the deliciousness in this mocha-macaroon coffee behemoth. In the meantime, load up now — because unlike candy bars, Hubbard’s Cave treats are limited creations. 

*Forbes named Hubbard’s Cave one of the Best Breweries in Chicago!

Very little carbonation, which is fine because it is so lush! I taste lots of chocolate, a bit of coconut, vanilla, and a hint of coffee. A little alchol warmth but its subtle. A great sipping stout. Wish I'd bought more for the holidays...

Very rich and smooth. Lots of vanilla and some chocolate up front, with a bit of coffee bitterness on the back edge. I don't get much coconut, but I don't miss it much...

Great balance of flavor and great viscosity. Little bitter but it's balanced out in my opinion.
