A Pastry Stout is an intentionally sweet stout, often made to mimic a specific dessert. Our Pastry Stout has a high ABV combined with a little sweetness. This is very much a dessert stout with caramel malt, vanilla, and cocoa nib, inspired by cookies. Unlike most pastry stouts, this brew does not contain lactose, making it completely vegan and lactose free.
10% ABV | 17% IBU

The uniqueness comes from notes of vanilla, berries, and dark fruit that have been imparted by Valley Commons Cabernet Sauvignon French oak barrels.
