Both of these are from Yonder Brewing of Somerset (website), and are indeed luxurious stouts! The first, at a mere 6.0% is their Pecan Pretzel Pastry Stout, which is sweet, as I expected, very smooth, with chocolate dominating for me in the taste, but hints of toasted pecan nuts and caramel too. Plenty of body, but incredibly easy to drink, with a slightly salty, dry bitter finish.
I hardly know what to say about this, the 7.0% Double Choc Fudge Cake Pastry Stout, my notes immediately say "YES!!" to it being a Double Chocolate Fudge Cake stout! It does what it says on the tin, reminding me of when I worked in Scotland and their Butter Tablet, but saturated with dark chocolate, sounds very sweet and sickly, but strangely also pretty easy to drink, and exceedingly luxurious! 😁 Yonder don't share details of the the hops they use sadly, but very likely English hops, but they can advise me, if they ever see this blog, cheers to them too! 👍
CHEERS FOLKS! 😉
The next blog will be about Ghent, I promise, a West Coast one to come soon too!
