Three vanilla varieties from three corners of the world and the brewery's own Italian dark roast coffee - that's the ambition when Moersleutel's beer engineers go after the éclair.
Expert description of Moersleutel Vanilla Glazed Éclair Pastry Stout
Moersleutel Vanilla Glazed Éclair is a creamy, dessert-like Pastry Stout at 10%, brewed by the Dutch brewery Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar. The beer uses the brewery's own Italian dark roast coffee and an exclusive blend of three different vanillas from around the world, made for beer lovers who crave rich, full-bodied dessert beers.
A base of classic Madagascar vanilla provides creamy body, while a rarer variety from the same region adds extra aromatic depth. Tahitensis vanilla from Ecuador contributes floral, lightly tropical sweetness, while the roasted coffee notes balance the sweetness and give the beer a round, harmonious profile.
