Layer Cake, a rich and decadent stout that has to be tried to be believed. Layering marshmallow, chocolate brownie, vanilla and cocoa nibs, this is a dessert in a can.

Can from Jim - cheers! Dark brown to black with a lasting tan head and a hint of fizz. Rich, smooth, oily mouthfeel. Rather a fake chocolate syrup aroma; it's still there in the taste but fortunately is overtaken by better things. There are plenty of toasted marshmallows, before a boozy note introduces some very enjoyable tiramisu. There's a roasted note too which just about prevented it being too sweet. Wasn't convinced at first, but it grew on me; yeah, pretty good by the end.

Aus der Dose (bbe 14.06.2022) im 2022-10 getrunken. Dieses Stout überrascht mit einer sehr starke Schaumbildung. In der Nase sind deutliche Yogurette Aromen von Kakaopulver und Erdbeer deutlich. Leider ist es unausgewogen und perfümartig so das es schon eine Überwindung ist das Stout zu trinken. Am Gaumen würde man dann eine deutliche Süße mit der Assoziation eines Schoko-Erdbeer-Riegels erwarten. Doch da ist erstmal eine Bitterkeit wie von einen normalen Stout. Dann kommen die Aromen wieder aus dem Hintergrund durch aber sie wirken vollkommen künstlich. Nein kein Stout für mich - weg damit!

(Can) Pours black with tiny tan head. Chocolate and marshmallow aroma. Full bodied and smooth with fine gentle carbonation. Amazing flavour- chocolate, marshmallow, cream, with some tangy berry notes. Burnt sugar bitter hints appear in the finish. Very nice.

30th April 2022 Can. A pretty much opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. A pleasant chocolate cake vibe goes well with a mildly candy raspberry. Touch of icing sugar. Crispy finish. If any number of brewers had shat this out I would be vaguely sympathetic, that the once mighty Brewdog have churned this out in cannable quantities is a sad indictment on how far this always brash, oft justifiably so, brewery has fallen..

[44cl can from M&S Camberley.] A glossy peaty brown pour with a tight beige head; aroma of vanilla fudge and marshmallow; sharply bitter to start with bitterly roasted grains, then sickly sweet with marshmallow and chocolate syrup. A strange concoction.
