Appearance 👀

Pours obsidian-black with a velvety tan head that lingers like jungle mist at midnight. The body is opaque, yet alive with glimmers of burnt amber when held to light. Legs cling to the glass like shadow spirits.

Aroma 👃

Layers of dark chocolate, roasted malt, and licorice swirl with unexpected bursts of ripe tropical fruit—papaya, mango, maybe a banana whisper. The warm fermentation brings esters that add intrigue and illusion to every sniff.

Flavor 👅

Deep roasted bitterness anchors the brew, balanced by subtle fruit sweetness from the Kveik esters. Flashes of pineapple and mango slip between coffee and cocoa, never overwhelming—just teasing. Like sipping stout in a rainforest temple while fruit bats laugh nearby.

Mouthfeel 🫦

Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Moderate carbonation lifts the fruit flavors while cushioning the roast. It’s plush yet mysterious, like velvet cloaking a hidden dagger.

Overall Impression 💭

Voodu Magic Tropical Stout is a conjuring act—stout enough to satisfy roasted cravings, wild enough to surprise. It plays with temperature, fruit, and darkness in a way that few dare. Expect complexity, charisma, and a finish that lingers like a spell half-cast.

The Legend of Voodu Magic Tropical Stout 📜

In the tangled wilds beyond the Hop Line Jungle, where mangrove vines curl like incantations and coconuts whisper secrets, the SheppyBrew brewing gnomes unearthed a forgotten relic—a tribal brewing cauldron once used by the shamans of Voodu Isle.

Legends say these shamans were not just brewers but flavor prophets, blending tropical fruits with dark malts and fermenting under volcanic heat. But their magic had a twist: each brew brewed with spirit and risk, as the esters could either enchant the drinker… or summon the thunder gods.

Driven by curiosity (and undeniable style), the SheppyBrew gnomes journeyed to Voodu Isle and joined forces with the island’s last potion master, Brewtiki the Mystic. Together they wrangled the lava-kissed yeast known as Voss Kveik, daring to ferment it hot to unleash the fruit.

The brew that emerged was unlike any other—a tropical stout with soul, smirk, and shadow. Thus, Voodu Magic Tropical Stout was born. Its tap handle features Brewtiki perched on a barrel surrounded by runes, raising a pineapple carved with SheppyBrew’s sigil.

They say if you drink it with your left foot off the ground and whisper “Fruity. Roasty. Boozy.” three times, you might glimpse the brewing spirits of Voodu Isle.
