A collaboration with Amundsen 2 years in the making.
Creamy, Rich, Exquisite
A decadent 0.5% chocolate stout with vanilla and creamy oats, spiked with a rather extravagant amount of sweet and sour cherry juice. Despite its taste, which is supernaturally creamy, it does in fact contain no dairy products and is entirely vegan. I went to great pains to blend the cherry to get that cake-filling vibe down.

14/VI/23 - 44cl can @ Stuff of Legend Tryout game (home), BB: 5/XII/23 (2023-424) Thanks to ElManana for sharing the can!
Clear dark brown beer, small creamy beige head, a little stable, a bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: lots and lots of cherry flavoured yoghurt, lots of dark caramel, a bit of a sourish impression, some vanilla, a hint of diacetyl, some coffee. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet and sugary start, cherry coke, sweet, caramel, cherry flavoured lemonade, meh. Aftertaste: sweet, a bit sourish, cherry lemonade, some yoghurt, caramel, hint of chocolate, could’ve had a bit more roast for my liking, but overall not too bad.

440ml can. Pours a very dark reddy brown, almost black, small tan head. Aroma of chocolate and sweet cherries. Taste is sweet, chocolate, cherry juice, vanilla, but never cloying. I hesitate to say it's thick but the body on this *is* genuinely big for an AF beer, and it certainly has the creamy smoothness you'd expect from a proper pastry stout. Sensational effort. Easily the best AF beer I've had so far.
