Product Description:
Bols Crème de Cacao Brown is a luxurious chocolate liqueur crafted using the finest roasted cacao beans sourced from premium cacao plantations. The distinguishing feature of the Brown variant is the percolation process—cacao beans are broken and percolated (a process similar to filter coffee) with alcohol and demineralized water for several days, extracting not only the flavor and aroma but also the rich dark brown color. This creates an intensely flavorful liqueur with authentic dark chocolate character, complemented by hints of orange zest, vanilla, and subtle spice.

Tasting Notes:

Comparison with Bols Crème de Cacao White:
