Brewer's Notes: Oh goodness, is it Pulpo time? It sure is, and thank goodness you've got some Pulpo! This here silky-smooth stout showcases some single-origin cocoa nibs for a big ol' whack of chocolate, followed by a whisper of orange courtesy (brought to you by orange zest). The end result conjures up memories of a vaguely-holiday-themed candy that's nostalgic for many of us, only this interpretation is always as good as you remember it being.
