Nutshella (6.9%)

Here at Belleville, we love making dark beers.

Our Nitro Southie Stout and Prêt à Porter are firm favourites, but this time we wanted to brew a beer with an extra level of indulgence.

With chocolate and hazelnuts taking centre-stage, we decided to forego the roasted barley that is a trademark of a classic stout and in its place, threw in loads of lactose to sweeten. We submerged a giant bag of cacao nibs in the whirlpool and another 12 kgs of cacao nibs and hazelnut flavouring post-fermentation. 

The result is chocolatey, silky smooth and incredibly decadent.

Tasting Notes

Bittersweet chocolate, delicate and smooth hazelnut notes.
