The collaboration “celebrates the best of both brands” and has a 6.9 per cent ABV, and follows the rising trend of craft brewers shifting into the production of dessert beers alongside its classic ranges.

The Koko Blaxk x Modus Choc Hazelnut Belgian Stout launched at this week’s 2021 Melbourne Good Beer Week.

It will be availanle in four-packs across independent bottle shops in Victoria from 23 May for RRP $35.00.
