Profile

Pocock Brewing Company is a family run craft-beer brewery in Santa Clarita, California. Started in 2013, Pocock has seen a slow but steady rise in popularity, eventually breaking out of the local scene and making itself known on the national craft level. With over 30 beers available from Pocock - some seasonally available and some full-timers - nearly every style is covered. But where they cover a style, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a standard issue beer. Their selection includes banana cream pie beers, razor-sharp IPAs, Milk stouts, and fruit-infused ales. Their taproom is available to pull a fresh pint for your sampling, and most of their beers are available as a six to take home. The Witch Doctor is an Imperial Stout with rich, fruity tones and dark chocolate flavour, and a backbone of spiciness for a savoury drinking experience. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for up to a year.

Look

Pours an inky, midnight black colour with low carbonation. A thin cap of off-white, small bubble head rests on top of the glass.

Smell

Smells of toasted malt, vanilla bean, citrus zest and orange flesh, stone fruit, and dusty spices that will remind you of the back of your grandma’s cabinets.

Taste

The flavours follow what your nose will tell you about this stout - warm and slightly sweet toasted malt, vanilla and dark chocolate notes, a strong edge of citrus flesh and zest, and the hard to pinpoint spices. The fruit and classic stout flavours are tasty but the beer has a slight edge to it, snapping off the flavour quite quickly with a slightly boozy finish.

Pairing

A good steak always works for Stout, but this has strong enough fruit that a nice cheese platter would work well.
