Nightcap of the Dead is a rich marshmallow porter brewed in collaboration with Valhalla, York’s legendary Viking bar. Inspired by Hel and the misty stillness of Helheim — the cold, shadowy afterlife for those who lived quietly — this decadent beer brings warmth and sweetness to the darkest of realms.

With toasted marshmallow notes and a velvety depth, it’s the perfect fireside companion for the fallen. If it’s good enough for Helheim, it’s ready to be raised in Valhalla.

Deep brown with a firm beige head. Big red berry notes, some marshmallowy vanilla, chocolate, faint smoked notes, some burnt malts, roasted malt. Sweet throughout. I gotta say, this is not doing it for me. Seems like a lot of artificial components here. Mid.

very dark brown, smooth light brown head.
aroma comes off as very artificial, mostly marshmallows, the aroma reminds me of coffee liquer, not malty beer.
flavor is better. roasted malts, marshmallows (big time). hard roasted malts, smoked malts, some serious bitterness into the end, a mix between roasted malty bitterness and marshmallow bitterness if such a thing exists at all.
I think the vikings would prefer mead.

If you like way-out-there experimental crazy beers, you probably like this one. It's pretty agressively marshmallowized

Dark sweet malty with notes of chocolate some dark caramel, and lots of vanilla sweetness, getting some dark almost berry like fruit coming through, medium body, more vanilla into the sweet ashy dark malty close. Solid supermarket pastry stout find.

Sweet, some jammy dark berries, nip of roast, light booze, some scorched earth. A little ash. Not bad.

CBJ tasting, thanks to Cloin for the can. Near clear dark amber brown beer, small and short lived bubbly pale tan head. Light bodied dark malts, an aggressive artificial chocolate vibe. A ton of candy fruits. Too sweet.
