  Vocation May Contain Sixpence Christmas Pudding Imperial Stout Canned Beer 44 cl 10%

  Item no.: 22112-010159

  A silver coin buried deep in the Christmas pudding, and a year of good luck for whoever bites down on it. That old English tradition lends its name to a dark, sweet and sticky Imperial Stout from Yorkshire. Pull the ring and out come dried fruit, warm spice and a lick of flaming cherry brandy.

  Expert description of Vocation Brewery May Contain Sixpence Christmas Pudding Imperial Stout Beer

  May Contain Sixpence is a Christmas Pudding Imperial Stout at 10.0 percent, brewed by Vocation Brewery in Cragg Vale near Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire. It comes as a Special Edition, and the can describes it as a sweet and sticky medley of rich dried fruit and warm spice, with a touch of vanilla, drizzled in flaming cherry brandy. So this is no ordinary stout with a hint of Christmas. It is a beer built around the dessert itself.

  The name nods to the English custom of hiding a silver coin, a sixpence, in the Christmas pudding, with a year of luck for whoever finds it. The style suits the job: an Imperial Stout brings the dark, mature backbone and the extra strength needed to carry dried fruit and spice without losing its footing. According to the can, it is suitable for vegans.

  Vocation was founded in 2015 by John Hickling in a rebuilt chicken shed, and today it is one of the largest independent craft breweries in the UK.

  Vocation Dark Harvest Imperial Porter Canned Beer 44 cl 10%

  Vocation White Gold White Stout Canned Beer 44 cl 6%

  Item no.: 22112-00156

  A cathedral looms over the can, drawn in gold on deep burgundy, with a ribboned gift box beneath it. Yorkshire to Milan, the side of the can says. A stout that swapped black for white and traded coffee for Christmas baking.

  Expert description of Vocation White Gold White Stout Beer

  Vocation White Gold is a White Stout from Vocation Brewery in Yorkshire, England. It is brewed in Cragg Vale near Hebden Bridge and released as a Special Edition for the festive season. The name points to a pale stout that keeps the full, smooth body you know from dark stouts, without the roasted edge.

  The inspiration is panettone, the Italian Christmas cake from Milan. The flavour comes from honey, orange zest, raisin, vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom. The result is creamy and full-bodied, and it finishes with a round, rich sweetness. Vocation itself calls it a beer of substance.

  Since 2015, Vocation has brewed under the banner We Brew Bold Beers. The can describes it as bold and beautiful beer for the many, and White Gold fits that to a tee: big flavour, no showing off. The can may contain sediment, so pour it carefully into the glass.

  Tasting notes

  Honey and orange zest greet you first, with soft vanilla underneath. It smells like a freshly baked festive loaf, just cut open.

  Flavour of the beer

  Raisin and vanilla fill the mouth, while cinnamon and cardamom add a warm layer of spice. The beer is creamy and full, with honey tying it all together.

  Finish of the beer

  The finish is rich and sweet, with a lingering trace of spice and honey.

  Vocation First Pick Praline & Chocolate Stout Canned Beer 44 cl 4.6%

  Item no.: 22112-00155

  Picture a dark winter evening, a can opening with a soft click, and the smell of chocolate and toasted nuts drifting through the kitchen. From a small village in Yorkshire comes the coziest Christmas stout around.

  Expert description of Vocation First Pick Chocolate & Praline Stout

  First Pick is a Stout from Vocation Brewery, based in Cragg Vale near Hebden Bridge in England. It is brewed as a special festive release and comes in a 44 cl can. Vocation has a reputation for making beer without the fuss, and you can taste that here.

  At 4.6% it is light enough that you will want a second. Still, it has real body and weight, and it settles soft and full on the tongue. Think chocolate, hazelnut praline and caramel, held together by roasted malt.

  This is a beer for sipping slowly on the sofa, but it also holds its own next to a plate of dark chocolate or a classic Christmas cake. Keep in mind there may be some sediment in the can, and that is exactly as it should be.

  Tasting notes

  Aroma

  Roasted malt and dark chocolate meet a sweet scent of hazelnuts and caramel. Vanilla hangs in the background.

  Taste

  Full and creamy in the mouth. Chocolate and hazelnut praline lead, caramel and vanilla follow, and the roasted malt keeps it all from turning too sweet.

  Finish

  Soft and sweet to close, with a warm, roasted edge that lingers a little.

  Vocation Bread and Butter Pudding White Stout Canned Beer 44 cl 7%

  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.
