It seemed like as soon as we nailed our processes for adding vanilla to our beers it would only be a matter of time before it found its way to our dark beers.
In the case of Sweet Eclipse, we knew that vanilla additions add a certain decadence and luxury to our beers, and what could be more decadent and luxurious than an Affogato-inspired stout?
Utilising the custom blend of coffee we serve at Polly’s Social, this is a coffee-leaning stout drizzled with silky vanilla ice cream notes to create an experience to savour in a warm and inviting atmosphere such as out of the cold in a bustling pub with friends, or solo in front of a roaring fire.

440ml can. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of milky coffee, vanilla, chocolate, roast malts. Taste has lots of milky coffee on a sweet chocolatey base, vanilla, somewhat sweet overall but burnt coffee grinds giving some welcome bitterness that does linger a bit on the finish. Medium bodied, smooth.

Creamy tan head on a very dark brown coloured body.
Coffee, roasted & malt aroma.
Medium bodied, creamy thinning out to a clean back.
Fresh roasted coffee, lactose, burnt & chocolate tastes with a bitterly hopped finish.
Not sure about the style reference - Nice mix of flavours though.
