maple storm - breakfast stout

Roasted malt in a stout isn’t unusual – but hand-roasted cacao nibs are! The Blue Coast brewery from southern France spared no expense or effort in its latest creation: In collaboration with the stout experts at the Roman brewery Ritual Lab, they created a brew that, in addition to hops, malt, yeast, and water, also contains Canadian maple syrup and cacao from Peru roasted in-house at the Blue Coast brewery.

This exquisite brew boasts a punchy 9.5% ABV and flows from the bottle with a palate-pleasing, velvety smoothness. This crisp texture is thanks to the use of oat flakes. Roasted malt is responsible for the deep coffee-brown color. The aroma of oven-fresh oatcakes, hot chocolate, and espresso entices you to try it. A taste test reveals a voluminous beer with balanced sweetness, spicy warmth, and captivating aromas. Smoothly melting chocolate, mocha, roasted grains, plum jam, and oatcakes combine on the palate with the unmistakable, slightly smoky spice of fine maple syrup.

Maple Storm is a so-called breakfast stout and delivers everything we expect from a good breakfast: freshly brewed coffee, oven-warm cookies, homemade jam, chunky cereal, and a dollop of chocolate. Next time we fancy breakfast instead of dinner, we’ll reach for this delicacy!
