A classic British dessert reinterpreted as beer. Bread and Butter Pudding is golden, sweet and full of nostalgia.
Expert description of Vocation Bread and Butter Pudding White Stout
Vocation Bread and Butter Pudding Stout is a golden dessert stout at 7% ABV, inspired by the classic British dessert. This white stout from Vocation Brewery in Hebden Bridge, England, is brewed with a focus on sweetness and complexity. The beer has a light golden colour, setting it apart from traditional dark stouts, but the flavour profile is rich and dessert-like.
The aroma is dominated by vanilla custard, nutmeg and cinnamon, while the taste combines malt fullness with sultanas and soft spices reminiscent of homemade bread pudding. The mouthfeel is creamy and round, and the finish has a pleasant sweetness with a hint of spice.
Vocation Brewery often experiments with the "white stout" style, where traditional stout character is recreated without the dark colour - here as a tribute to classic English baking.

Did You Know?
A "white stout" is a stylistic contradiction in itself - the beer is brewed with the stout's technical characteristics (fullness, sweetness, complexity), but with pale malts instead of the dark, roasted malts that normally give stout its black colour.
