Nightmare of Cake
Full-bodied, sweet and roasty from the malt and added lactose, with aromatic coconut and sweet, silky banoffee pie bursting through on the finish. A coconut and banoffee imperial pastry stout at 10.4 %, brewed for Drygate's 12th birthday as a very silly beer, with toasted coconut chips, banoffee pie and muscovado sugar in the brew.
