No fuss. Just big, bigger, biggers, mega. Barrel-aged lemon-vanilla twist. Bon-bon!
In 2021, we wanted to reconnect with an early Dugges ambition of not brewing something big, bigger, or biggest but brewing something mega! So, the mega-series was born. Big 15% vol. adjunct stouts that had extra everything with even more on top and a side of all you could ever want. And then some.
Weirdly, funnily and/or strangely enough, it took us quite some time before we brewed a clean version. One that really connected to our roots. So, we've rectified that and went full circle. Then we barrel-aged that clean beer.
Upon tasting the barrels, we got distinct aromas and flavors of vanilla and lemon. So we thought, why not enhance those. Really make the uniqueness of this beer stick out. So, that's what we did. Creating a pastilla, a bon-bon, and a real treat for all lemon, vanilla, candy, sweet, and stout connoisseurs. After-dinner delight? Heaven!

Can @home. Nera, oleosa, impenetrabile, schiuma écru media. Al naso note di cioccolato, gianduia, limone candito, vaniglia, legno. In bocca è abboccata, cioccolato di pasticceria, con una punta fresca di limone. Corpo pieno, oleosa al palato, carbonazione medio-leggera. Un po' stucchevole alla lunga.

Keg @ Craft Beer Helsinki 2024. Poured near black in color. Heavy brew, full bodied and quite sweet. Vanilla, chocolate, pastry overload. In small sips ok, but not my thing.

Thin light brown head g collar on a still black body. Vanilla & citrus aroma. Full bodied, smooth with a nicely carbonated back. Malt, toffee caramel, vanilla, demerara, syrup & honey tastes with huge boozy dark spirits finish. Decadent.
