Thank your brewers for this one as “Pick Me Up” was one helluva labour of love. To achieve max stout and pack in as much flavour as physically possible, we actually needed to brew the beer twice using 5 different malts, loads of flaked oats and then over 15 kg of lady fingers (note from brewers: Do you know how god damn light a lady finger is!!) This big grain bill provides a huge sweet body and layers of roasty flavours.

After the mash, we added milk sugar and boiled the wort for over 2 hours, which helps to caramelize the sugars and create a richer, thicker beer.

473ml can. Pours an opaque dark brown with amber edges and a small, creamy, short lived, tan head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, coffee, earth, dark chocolate, caramel, toffee and vanilla. Sweet flavour of toasted malt, lactose, milk chocolate, cherry, licorice, caramel and vanilla in a sweet, mild bitter finish. Medium body with a sticky, syrupy texture and soft carbonation. A little sweet, but makes a great dessert beer.

Jet black brown with a nice light brown head. Tons of roast dark coffee. Bitter roast and a silly note. So much coffee it really overwhelms everything else.
