La Pirata / Against The Grain / La Black Flag Cacaozest

This collaboration elevates the classic British Brown Ale into a decadent, high-gravity experience. At 8% ABV, the sensory profile is significantly more robust than traditional examples, leaning into a rich malt tapestry of toffee and toasted nuts. The addition of roasted cacao deepens the chocolate character, while fresh orange zest provides a vibrant, citrus-edged counterpoint to the sweetness. It balances the warmth of a strong ale with the approachability of a brown ale, offering a lingering finish where earthy hop notes meet bitter cocoa and bright essential oils. It is a bold, modern interpretation of a traditional style.
