A dessert in a glass. This beer is brewed using unfermentable lactose sugar, vanilla beans and plenty of roasted malts to provide a sweet, smooth caramel drinking experience. No blowtorch was used in the making of this beer.

Cask @ Akkurat. A true dessert beer. Very sweet with notes of milk chocolate and vanilla. Mild roasted and coffee notes. Soft mouthfeel.

Tap at Cask, Pimlico. Poured a clear dark brown with a round bubbly white head. The aroma is zesty sweet malt. The flavour is moderate sweet with a zesty sherbet fake sugar palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. It’s desert in a glass just as it says on the label.

Cask at Craft Holborn. It pours deep brown with a medium, bubbly beige head. The nose is sweet creme brulee, cinnamon, custard, burnt toffee, caramelized sugars, nougat, marshmallow and vanilla. The taste is smooth, sweet, toasty, light roast, earth, sweet milky coffee, custard, creme brulee, cocoa, nougat, vanilla, light alcohol and touch of acidity with a sweet finish. Medium+ body and fine carbonation. Well realized. Does what it says on the pump clip! A touch sweet for my own taste, but well done nonetheless.

Craft Islington. Cask. Clear deep red beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Palate is light, smooth and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Light malts. Nice vanilla - toffee sweetness. Light fruity tang. More vanilla before a smooth and semi dry finish. Very drinkable and well judged, it’s never cloying.
