Santa’s Beard blends five malts - Pale ale, Munich, Crystal, Brown and Chocolate malts - with roasted barley to create a dark beer with a rich depth of malty wonderment. With flavours of caramel, burnt toffee, and roast coffee balanced by a sweetness from lactose sugars, this is a luxuriously sumptuous sweet stout, perfect for Christmas. A great accompaniment to aged cheese or rich chocolate puddings.

500ml Bottle: poured into an Abbot Ale pint glass tankard @ home on 8th Dec 13. Would Santa drink a Sweet Milk Stout or a Baltic Porter? Well Brain’s obviously think he’d like a Stout rather than a Porter. Pours a deep, deep mahogany with a full head that hung around. Chocolate and more chocolate notes in both the aroma and taste: this is a ’Milk Chocolate Stout’. Impressed with the smoothness of texture and taste, this is a lovely Sweet Stout and a great surprise at that, didn’t think Brain’s could/would brew such a beer.

500ml bottle from Threshers, Albany Road, Cardiff. Has a potent aroma with strong dark tastes merging black coffee, liquorice, figs whilst remaining fairly sweet with a spicy bitterness. Quite a lot going on, not bad at all.
