Third Barrel – Let them eat cake! (6.0% ABV)

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists!

Today John is taking a look at the darker side of beer for a change!

  1. Name: Let the Eat Cake
  2. Brewery: Third Barrel Brewery
  3. Aroma :  Dark Chocolate and toasted coconut aroma.
  4. Appearance :  Lovely Dark beer with a Mushroom coloured Head.
  5. Body :  Thin bodied, low carbonated, poor head retention.
  6. Taste :  Sweet chocolate, followed by a toasted coconut and a slight hint of coffee.

A bit on the sweet side for me but by no means is this a terrible stout, and its definitely affordable unlike some that I have been gifted recently (but they are bloody lovely) I think this hasn’t travelled well given the carbonation, I would like to see what this is like on draft. I will keep my eyes open for some more Third Barrel in the future and report back to you!

Our overall rating: 3.6/ 5.0
