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.

Pastry stout by BrewDog, with added flavours of vanilla, fudge and marshmallow; thanks Steve for sharing the can. Moussy, irregularly edged, mocha-beige, bubbly, slowly opening head on a jet black beer, no light passing through at least not under the circumstances in which I tasted it. Aroma, as announced, of milk chocolate, marshmallow, praliné, fudge, mocha ice cream, caramel candy, vanilla, hints of raspberry coulis, clove and cinnamon. Sweet onset, ‘pralines’-like indeed, lightly carbonated, very light sourish touch but sugariness dominates, though somehow largely avoids annoying stickiness; full body, very oily, thoroughly caramelly with a milk-chocolatey edge which I assume represents the marshmallow reference. Hazelnut cream and vanilla play along too, until a mild spiciness is met in the finish, vaguely reminiscent of clove, liquorice and cinnamon; a ‘cherry bonbons’ impression, however, lasts till the final drop. Very typical for a present-day pastry stout but I feel like I should add that ‘pastry stout’ was originally meant sarcastically – and in the context of the huge, groundbreaking stouts BrewDog has made its fame with in the past, this one may just be a tad underwhelming perhaps.

440ml can from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear dark brown, almost black colour with a short-lived, frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, marshmallow and vanilla. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a smooth, rich, chocolate, vanilla, marshmallow palate and a lingering liqourice bitter aftertaste. Medium bodied with soft carbonation and a light oily mouthfeel. Not so bad but tasted a little fake. I expected a little more body at 7%, but perfectly drinkable. Good value for money and I would buy again.

dark, dark brown, almost black, smooth lively brown head. Aroma is unlike any other stoutish beer i've had so far. aroma reminds me of red frosting on a cake, and lots of that note, small licorice eggs in different colors (don't like those btw) milk chocolate.. somewhere between dessert and candy. where's the beer? crazy aroma alright, but not really making me look forward to taste it. flavor has some roasted malts, also cake frosting, good cofee roasted aftertaste. a stout with a strong fruity sugary flavor on top of the roasted malts. Pretty weird, i've had better pastry stouts. Brewdog went all-in weird with this one. After some time you get used to the weird flavor, then it becomes fairly drinkable.

Supersüßer Marshmallow-Trunk - man wähnt sich glatt im Omnipollo-Land. Sehr gut trinkbar, süffig, bisschen Stoit ist wahrnehmbar. Lecker Dessert.

Can @ Fox & Hounds, Sønderborg, to celebrate the end og lockdown #2. Pours cloudy coffee brown with stable tan head. Clear aroma of marshmallow, yeast and chocolate, with malty touches. Bitterish, roasty onset, quickly giving way to sweet notes of marshmallow and chocolate and touches of yeast. Roasty and estery aftertaste with sweetish notes. A nice one. I like marshmallow stout, and this specific one is definitely not a disappointment.
