Beer #3: Velvet Panda

Style: Imperial Stout with Cocoa Nibs, Chipotle, Peanut Butter and Sea Salt
ABV: 15%
Flavor Text: “The perfection of dark chocolate and peanut butter gets a spicy upgrade! The next iteration of the Next Beer Due series is an imperial stout w/ cocoa nibs, peanut butter, chipotle, & sea salt. We changed our base stout recipe to add slightly more roast and doubled the amount of cocoa nibs to mimic our favorite dark chocolate bar. Then we conditioned the beer on smoke-tingled chipotle peppers, sea salt, and added a ton of peanut butter to balance the roast, spice, & smoke.”
