Cocoa Nuts (Pacific City, OR) – The Pelican Brewing Company has just introduced a dark twist on a classic beer-style. Brewed with nibs from Meridian Cacao Company nibs, which were sourced directly from farmers in Tanzania, Pelican Midnight Malt is a 6% ABV Cocoa Porter with rich, dark chocolate flavors, roasty aromatics and a rounded malt finish.
“Porters are one of the oldest styles of beer, so we wanted to put our unique take on this style and create a smooth and well-balanced chocolate porter for fall,” Coren Tradd, R&D Brewer at Pelican Brewing Company told American Craft Beer. “This beer is perfect for enjoying around a beach bonfire or your fireplace on a crisp fall night as the beer envelops you in cocoa nibs and soft caramel notes, but it’s not heavy or sweet, so you can continue to enjoy well into the night.”
