Chocolate Stout

Description

As we enter "Xiao Han," it's arguably the coldest season of the year, where all creatures hibernate, awaiting the passing of winter. An ancient proverb says, "Geese head north, magpies start nesting," signifying the geese's intuition to migrate towards the north and the magpies' anticipation of the end of winter, signaling the start of nest-building.

"Xiao Han" beer starts with an English-style Stout as its base, infused with carefully selected cocoa beans from Pingtung's Quanming Green Fruit Society by "Terra," along with whey from Lab Man Mano's cheese-making process. This combination enhances the deep-roasted malt aroma with the cocoa's low-temperature roasting, producing a rich blend of woody, spicy, and chocolate flavors. Coupled with the smoothness of fresh whey, this beer harmonizes to create a winter brew that belongs uniquely to Taiwan.
