Crème Brew-Lée

◎ Appearance

Crème Brew-Lée presents a deep dark brown color with opaque clarity, characteristic of its roasted malt bill. A lingering tan head settles atop the pour, displaying fine Schaumkleiden that persist throughout the drinking experience. The body appears substantial and inviting, suggesting the creamy mouthfeel to follow.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with cocoa and roasted malt character, rounded by notes of caramel and burnt sugar that speak to the chocolate malt and roasted barley used in the brew. Vanilla and subtle coffee aromatics emerge in the background, adding complexity without dominating. The overall impression is dessert-like and approachable, with no aggressive hop or alcohol volatility.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with chocolate and roasted malt sweetness that defines the entry, balanced by restrained bitterness from the 20 IBU. Mid-palate reveals layers of caramel and faint coffee notes, while the oats contribute a smooth, creamy texture that softens any sharp edges. The sweetness remains controlled despite the dessert-stout designation, allowing malt character to sustain the experience.

◑ Finish

The finish carries a gentle warming from the 6% ABV without heat or harshness, fading into a lingering malt sweetness and faint coffee note. Creaminess persists to the very end, leaving the palate satiated rather than sticky.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
