In Alkmaar they call themselves "beer engineers" - and Moersleutel's pastry stouts are exactly that: engineered with precision, but brewed with a sense of play.

Expert description of Moersleutel Banana Bread Pastry Stout

Moersleutel Banana Bread Pastry Stout is an imperial stout from the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar, founded in 2015 by the Zomerdijk brothers.

The beer is brewed with banana, cocoa, coffee and vanilla, which together create a full-bodied, dessert-like experience carried by a solid malt backbone. At 12%, it's a beer for slow enjoyment - small glasses, plenty of time.

Tasting Notes

Ripe banana, cocoa and a sweet, caramel-like malt.

A box of hand-crafted truffles - just in liquid form. That's how Moersleutel itself describes this dessert stout, built around a carefully selected trio of cocoas.

Expert description of Moersleutel Coconut Chocolate Truffles Pastry Stout

Moersleutel Coconut Chocolate Truffles Pastry Stout is crafted as a box of hand-made truffles in liquid form. Here, creamy coconut, deep chocolate and roasted malt from the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar meet in a dessert stout that is luxurious, layered and irresistibly full.

The aroma opens with sweet coconut and dark cocoa, followed by warm coffee tones and a hint of vanilla. The mouthfeel is thick and silky, almost like a custard-like raw stout that envelops the palate with intense chocolate fullness.

The flavour profile is built as a true truffle experience: raw coconut flakes are combined with a hand-selected cocoa trio - Bolivia for nostalgic warm chocolate, Tanzania for caramelised fruitiness and Ghana for nutty coffee and bitter wood. Mexican vanilla rounds off the whole, while Moersleutel's Italian dark roast coffee provides depth and balance.

Dutch licorice isn't like the Danish kind - and at Moersleutel they've turned the soft, salty dropjes tradition into the starting point for one of their most surprising pastry stouts.

Expert description of Moersleutel Drop It Like It's Hot Pastry Stout

Moersleutel Drop It Like It's Hot is a dark, soft and deeply aromatic pastry stout at 10% from the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar, where a true Dutch classic - licorice - is transformed into a luxurious stout experience. At its centre is licorice paste, not the sweet candy version, but a concentrated, velvety extract that adds subtle saltiness and earthy depth.

Cocoa nibs, coffee beans and premium vanilla add layers of roasted warmth and dessert fullness, while a hint of tonka bean brings almond, spice and an exotic edge. The result is a stout that pays homage to the Dutch dropjes tradition: recognisable, but far more elegant and complex than a bag of mixed candy.

Tasting Notes

Salty licorice, cocoa and vanilla.

Velvety licorice paste with roasted warmth from coffee beans and an exotic tonka bean edge.

Expert description of Moersleutel Motor Oil Imperial Stout

Moersleutel Motor Oil Imperial Stout is a massive, jet-black and uncompromising imperial stout at 12% from the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar, brewed to be just as thick and heavy as the name promises.

Three different smoked malts, each with its own character - Moersleutel has given this stout full firepower and called it Supernova.

Expert description of Moersleutel Supernova Smoked Imperial Stout

Moersleutel Supernova Smoked Imperial Stout is a stout with full firepower from the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar - a beer that explodes with smoke, depth and warmth. It's brewed with three different smoked malts, each with its own character, resulting in a layered, intense and perfectly balanced smoked imperial stout.

Oak-smoked wheat provides an almost bacon-like fullness and umami, while beech-smoked barley adds spice and campfire atmosphere. On top of that comes peat-smoked malt, bringing earthy smoke, depth and a hint of whisky associations. By adjusting the ratio between these malts, the brewers have created a stout that is both powerful and harmonious.

The flavour moves from warm campfire embers to intense peat smoke, with dark malts, chocolate and a light sweetness that ties it all together. The innovation lies especially in the use of oak-smoked wheat, which gives a salty-savoury dimension rarely found in a stout.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

Campfire smoke and dark chocolate.

Taste

Peat smoke and beech smoke in layers, with dark malts and a light sweetness.

Deep and smoky, with lingering whisky associations.

In 1979, a paint-splattered old MG car sat parked outside the spray shop at the factory in Abingdon. Workers called it "the owld speckled 'un" — and when Morland needed a name for the beer they'd brewed to mark the factory's 50th anniversary, the story wrote itself.

Expert's Take on Morland Old Speckled Hen English Pale Ale

Morland Old Speckled Hen is an English pale ale built on pale and crystal malt, giving it a deep amber colour and a caramel-sweet backbone. The hops are a blend of Challenger, Pilgrim, First Gold and Goldings, keeping the sweetness in check with a mild, earthy bitterness. What really sets the beer apart is the yeast — a specific strain Morland has used since 1896, responsible for the beer's signature dry finish.

The beer was first brewed in 1979 by Morland Brewery in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, as a one-off to mark the anniversary of the MG car factory. It proved too popular to disappear again. Today Old Speckled Hen is brewed by Greene King in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, after Greene King acquired Morland in 2000 — but the recipe and the name have carried on unchanged.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

Soft caramel and lightly toasted malt lead the nose, backed by a clear fruitiness — think dried apricot with a whisper of orange peel sitting over the malty base.

Taste

Round and malty, with toffee and gentle sweetness up front, balanced by a mild, herbal hop bitterness. There's also a hint of bread crust and toasted grain.

Finish

Surprisingly dry thanks to Morland's signature yeast strain — a pleasant, lightly bitter finish that never turns cloying.

On the banks of the Danube in Kelheim, the wheat grain has spoken to the Schneider family since 1872. Sunlight filters through the golden, lightly hazy beer, and an aroma of ripe banana and spiced cloves rises from the glass long before the first sip. It's a warm summer afternoon poured into a bottle - light, lively and thoroughly Bavarian.

Expert description of Schneider Weisse Hefeweissbier Naturtrüb

G. Schneider & Sohn is Bavaria's oldest wheat beer brewery. The story begins in 1872, when Bavarian King Ludwig II sold the royal monopoly on brewing wheat beer to Georg Schneider I - a deal that saved the style from disappearing. Hefeweissbier Naturtrüb, also known as TAP01, was introduced in 1994 as the brewery's lighter, more citrus-fresh answer to the classic, amber-coloured Original (TAP07).

The beer is brewed on wheat malt and barley malt and hopped with Hallertauer Tradition and Hallertauer Saphir from the nearby Hallertau region. Fermentation takes place through open fermentation followed by genuine bottle conditioning, and the beer leaves the brewery completely unfiltered and unpasteurised, preserving both its yeast haze and its fresh, fruity character.

Tasting Notes

Aroma

A bouquet of ripe bananas, fresh herbs and a touch of citrus, backed by sweet grain and a light floral hop aroma.

Taste

Fresh and lively on entry, with banana, lemon and a mild sweetness. Cloves and a hint of yeast tie it all together in a soft, medium-bodied character.

Finish

Short and elegant, with a lightly tart, citrus-like finish that immediately calls for the next sip.
