Evil Twin Brewing - Cuvée de Candy Bar: Royal Treatment

If you've ever wondered what would happen if someone melted an entire sweet shop into an Imperial Stout, Evil Twin Brewing NYC has the answer. Cuvée de Candy Bar: Royal Treatment is a magnificently decadent, unapologetically indulgent 13% monster, brewed with enormous quantities of chocolate candy bars, coconut, candied peanuts, marshmallow and vanilla beans. This is dessert in a glass, and subtlety most definitely wasn't invited to the party!

Pouring an intensely dark brown, almost black, with a rich tan head, this extraordinary Imperial Pastry Stout delivers an intoxicating aroma of melted milk chocolate, sweet cocoa, toasted coconut and creamy vanilla. Beneath the confectionery extravagance, expect enticing suggestions of roasted malt, caramelised sugar and freshly made chocolate fudge.

On the palate, luscious waves of chocolate candy bars take centre stage, delivering a rich combination of creamy milk chocolate, dark cocoa and sweet caramel. Candied peanuts introduce a delightful roasted nuttiness, while coconut adds a smooth tropical sweetness reminiscent of a particularly extravagant chocolate bar. Marshmallow and vanilla beans bring further layers of confectionery indulgence, creating flavours reminiscent of chocolate brownies, toasted marshmallows and luxurious chocolate desserts.

Full-bodied, intensely rich and wonderfully smooth, Cuvée de Candy Bar: Royal Treatment finishes with lingering chocolate sweetness, warming alcohol and a gentle roasted malt character that helps balance its considerable decadence. An absolute treat for lovers of enormous, dessert-inspired Imperial Stouts and anyone who believes that chocolate should be considered a perfectly acceptable main course.
