Mad Scientist Trøffel Can 440 ml 6.4%

Truffles belong in the gourmet kitchen, not on a beer bottle - but Mad Scientist has never cared much for that kind of rule. Truffle Stout is the brewery's answer to the question: what happens when an earthy luxury ingredient meets roasted malt?

Expert description of Mad Scientist Truffle Stout

Mad Scientist from Budapest is known for experimenting its way toward beers that sit somewhere between the brewhouse and the gourmet kitchen. Truffle Stout combines a classic, dark stout base of roasted malt and cocoa with an addition of truffle, giving the beer an earthy, almost luxurious depth usually found only in cooking. It is a beer built to surprise, without losing touch with the solid stout craft it is built on.

The roasted malt provides a foundation of coffee and dark chocolate, while the truffle layers on an umami note that ties everything together into something more complex than an ordinary stout. The texture is soft and rounded, with a finish that hints more of gourmet cooking than brewhouse.
