This is Vocation&#8217;s Triple Truffle Naughty &amp; Nice Chocolate Stout, in a tall can and a subtle but suitable label.  It&#8217;s been chilling for quite a while so I let it sit on the table for a bit before even opening, trusting that chocolate beer won&#8217;t go off very fast.  At 8.4% it&#8217;s strong, although not the strongest I&#8217;ve ever had.  Sounds like the chocolatiest I&#8217;ll have had, though.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1428\" style=\"width:464px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250566-scaled-e1745615457760.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It has a definite chocolate aroma, with a touch of liquor, kind of like those cherry liquor bonbons.  While not especially heady, a nice layer of thick and lasting foam forms on the top.  The flavor does not deviate from the scent  clues, piling on in fact.  It&#8217;s not heavy on the alcohol feel, but the chocolate is thick and dark tasting, very much like M\u00f6ser Roth&#8217;s truffle.  Actually, I think it&#8217;s a little sweeter than that.  It maintains a pleasant texture, not getting to syrupy or heavy, and the flavor also stays constant.  It&#8217;s quite an easy drinking beer for what you might expect from the description.  The wait certainly didn&#8217;t hurt it, although I&#8217;m sure it was delicious from day one.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1429\" style=\"width:397px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/P4250567-scaled-e1745615488305.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the end of an era&#8230;about a year late.
