Revolution Brewing Cocoa Vanilla Deth 2025

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Cocoa Vanilla Deth is Revolution Brewing’s decadent Deep Wood Series release built on the same French-oak-augmented bourbon barrel blend as their 2025 Vanilla Deth. Mexican cocoa nibs sourced from Sleep Walk Chocolateria add a lush, fudge-like depth that intertwines with the signature vanilla warmth of the base stout. Expect an opaque pitch-black pour, a silky oatmeal body, and a layered palate of dark chocolate ganache, vanilla bean, caramel malt, toasted oak, and warming bourbon spirit. A rich, indulgent sipper from Chicago’s most celebrated barrel program.

Food Pairing

Pair with a dark chocolate lava cake — the molten cocoa core amplifies the beer’s Mexican nibs and fudge character beautifully. Alternatively, serve alongside an aged Gouda or Comté: the nutty, caramel sweetness of the cheese creates a seamless bridge to the beer’s bourbon oak and vanilla notes.
