473 ml can, as Toppling Goliath Fresh Batch Series S'mores Pastry Stout, at Cardinal, Stavanger. ABV is 10%. Pitch black colour, large and creamy tan head. Aroma of graham crackers, malts, chocolate and marshmallows. Very sweet flavour (despite no lactose) with the same elements, the malts are more roasty and distinct now. The can is for sharing.

Flavoured stout by one of the world's most renowned stout brewers - who actually call this a pastry stout even though it does not contain any lactose ("stay chillin' and relaxin', we put no lactose in")... Can shared with tderoeck and Craftmember, received as an extra gift with the purchase of a bottle of Assassin from a private dealer - cheers Konrad! Thick and frothy, shred-lacing, yellowish beige, stable head on a jet black beer. Intense and beguiling bouquet of hazelnut puree, nougat, marshmallows, melting chocolate ice cream, latté macchiato, biscuit cake, fudge, roasted peanuts, some cinnamon, blueberry crumble, fig jam, muesli, almond, cognac, walnut pie. Dense, sweet but measured onset, softly carbonated; candied dates, raisins and candied cherries, but quickly moving to a very thoroughly nutty character, as in peanut cake, pecan nut pie and walnut liqueur, backed by layers of fudge, fondant chocolate and nougat; some cinnamon, amaretto, muscovado sugar and latté appear during the tasting, and while intense chocolateyness and nuttiness prevail, they add a whole lot of punch and colour to the whole. Hops serve a background role and the alcohol warms in a soft brandy-ish way without standing even a millimeter in the way of all those lovely flavours. I had grown a bit tired of overly sweet, thick and sticky pastry stouts to be honest, but this one offers a full pastry stout experience without that milky, sugary, cloying, tiresome lactose - this is, in its core, a more oldskool flavoured stout guised as a present-day pastry stout. It takes a genius brewery and postmodern stout specialist like Toppling Goliath to pull that off. Hats off to Toppling Goliath once again: this is an absolute masterpiece in its genre and possibly the best of a very long evening of beer tasting (with about twenty-five different beers). Everybody at my tasting table seemed equally impressed by this one - so have some extra points. I am a fan.

03.08.2024, 1 pint can @ home:
Big light brown bubbly-creamy longlasting head, deep dark pour. Aroma is sweet roasted, dark sugar, maple syrup, peanut butter, dark malts, sweet chocolate. Taste is sweet sour-ish roasted, dark sugar, peanut butter, vanilla, maple syrup, dark malts, lactose, sweet chocolate. Sweet roasted mouthfeel. It's not bad, it's just 100 times sweeter than it should be. It's liquid diabetes, and one sip is too much. I feel sick drining this...

4 oz. Draft. Aroma and flavor are a match. Mild chocolate, chard mall, and . Gram cracker not over done.. Good mouthfeel and texture. However, it does lean on being overly sweet.

Can 473ml @ home
Pours black with a tan head. Aroma has notes of roasted malt. cookie dough, butter, vanilla, hazelnut, chocolate and caramel. Taste is heavy sweet and medium to heavy bitter with a long warm, sweet, roasted, chocolate, nutty, bitter and vanilla finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Maybe the best graham cracker replica in the aroma I have ever found, but taste wise this beer is way over the top. Feels like this was a very nice imperial stout that was somewhat ruined by additions.
