Every winter
Tuatara rolls out dark beer for the dark nights with their Black Stout series. I have previously had (although not blogged about) the Black Light Stout but Tuatara replaced that last year with 3 new Stouts, one coffee Stout, one chocolate Stout and then a straight Stout. These are collaborative brews where Tuatara teams up with other Wellington businesses such as
Mojo for the coffee and the
Wellington Chocolate Factory for the
chocolate Stout.
As a Stout this beer performs solidly. It is dark and rich and thick. But this is a chocolate Stout so I want it too be smooth and velvety and even richer. Unfortunately it didn't quite get there. There was chocolate but there could have been more to take it to that next level. As my wife says "More Chocolate Please."
