The CCC Range 2019

Caribbean Chocolate Cake

7.4% Tropical Stout

This collaboration with Cigar City Brewing is one of our all-time favourites. Caribbean Chocolate Cake is a dense, rich and luxurious stout brimming with hand-roasted cacao nibs selected by the esteemed Willie's Cacao, and harmonised by Cypress wood spirals. Pure canned indulgence.

Caribbean White Chocolate Cake

7.4% Tropical White Stout

This is a brand new spin on Caribbean Chocolate Cake, one of our all-time favourite beers, brewed in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing. Our mind-bending tropical white stout features some of the key notes of the original in a guise you would not expect. Hand-roasted cacao nibs selected by the esteemed Willie's Cacao are accentuated by vanilla and cranberries and harmonised by Cypress wood.

Death By Caribbean Chocolate Cake

9.1% Imperial Tropical Stout

This is the doubled-down version of one of our all-time favourite beers, Caribbean Chocolate Cake, brewed in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing. Expect even more hand-roasted cacao nibs, even more Cypress and Amburana wood, and even more pure canned indulgence.

Barrel Aged Caribbean Chocolate Cake 

9.4% Barrel Aged Tropical Stout

This is a special barrel aged version of Caribbean Chocolate Cake, one of our all-time favourite beers, created in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing. Our dense, rich and luxurious stout has been maturing in bourbon barrels, picking up delicious vanilla, whiskey and oak character.

What Goes into CCC?

Along with Water, Malted Barley, Yeast, Hops, Oats & Lactose is a healthy amount of Cacao and Cypress Wood! We use both cacao nibs and husks for milk and dark chocolate depth, and Cypress wood spirals to temper the sweetness, add complexity and some delicate tannins. For the first time this year, we're using some incredible Brazilian Amburana in the imperial version for the beer. It's truly special.

In order to get the optimum pick-up from these premium additions to the beer, we use our custom-built SpinBot. Stay tuned for more on that next week.

WILLIE'S CACAO

Willie's passion for chocolate was born of a love of adventure. That spirit took him to Venezuela, led him to buy Hacienda El Tesoro high in the cloud forest, and remains with him as his quest to make great chocolate takes him on the cacao trail around the Equator into the forests of the world, in search of the finest beans.

Willie's chocolate is all about flavour. Great cacaos are like fine wines, each one with its own stunningly individual flavour born of its specific genetics, soil and climate. One might taste naturally of nuts, another of summer fruits. It is to capture these subtle notes and unique flavours that he makes all his chocolate from the bean- which is called bean to bar chocolate! He buys single estate cacaos direct from the farmers, roast them in antique ball roasters and make them into chocolate using just raw cane sugar and natural cocoa butter – no soya lecithin, no vanilla, nothing that gets in the way of the flavour of the bean.

The first thing he made with his own cacao was hot chocolate. Adding water and a little  honey, it blew his mind. He wants everyone to experience some of the awakening he did. Few things give him more pleasure than watching someone gasping with delight as the chocolate melts and the realisation dawns that all that flavour comes simply from the cacao.

It's this passion and love for Cacao that made Willie's the perfect Cacao partner for Caribbean Chocolate Cake.
