Flavours to expect

This is a lovely beer. It’s billed as a marshmallow porter, which means it combines the roasty notes of a classic dark ale with a smooth sweetness from the marshmallow. Tiny Rebel describe the result as “a delightful, S’mores-like ale” – and I have to agree.
Its flavour was soft, with burnt marshmallow floating over roast malt, coffee, liquorice, dates and vanilla. With a moderately full and yet light body, soft carbonation preceded the gently drying finish, where a slight coffee bitterness lingered just edging the balance over the malts. I found it very pleasant with a ghost of burnt marshmallow allowing some more complex flavours to come through.
Food pairings
It’s got to be s’mores, right? Or failing that perhaps one of those oversized soft chocolate cookies. A chocolate brownie could work too. But if you want something more savoury, try it with cheese – especially gruyère – or perhaps some bresaola.
Or just go for the s’mores.
