This pastry stout is a lighter version of Brouwerij Kees' imperial caramel fudge stout but it still packs a punch at 5.3%. I couldn't see any best before date on the can so I've got no idea whether or not it was in date when I drank it.
It has a dark brown mahogany coloured body with a small rapidly vanishing tan head. The aroma is surprisingly light for a sweet stout and although I didn't smell any caramel I did pick up notes of malt and chocolate.
After the slightly disappointing smell and appearance, it totally redeems itself in the taste test as it is delicious. It's like sweet, creamy candy covered in milk chocolate and it's so malty. The sweetness really lingers so it's definitely a beer for the sweet toothed among us. It has a full body and medium carbonation which gives it a relatively smooth mouthfeel.
It's a lovely sweet stout but it tastes more chocolate than caramel fudge to me. I'd be really interested to try its big brother in the future and Ale Be Seeing You again.
