Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimist’s,
John is up next ready and eager to check outdoor number 6! But what will he find? A Chocolate Custard Stout from Turning Points small batch, Singularity Series? I guess you can have Dessert and drink it!
My can was #255 of 348.
- Name : Dark Matter Custard
- Brewery: Turning Point Brew Co, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire
- Hops : N/A
- Grain : Extra Pale, Flaked Barley, Biscuit, Chocolate, Brown, Low colour chocolate,Crystal 150, Special B, Yeast: US-05 + London
- Aroma : Strong scents of rum, chocolate and vanilla
- Appearance : Very dark in colour with a mushroom head when poured.
- Body : Full to medium bodied, well carbonated and okay head retention.
- Taste : Sweet chocolate up front with a wash of vanilla and warming rummy backing
- Dietary restrictions : Lactose, Gluten, & Custard
An absolutely cracking stout, and despite its high ABV it doesn’t impede on the flavour, this is a true chocolatey custard mouthful that keeps on giving, even though its 9% its one I would be tempted to have another of.
Our overall rating: 4.1/ 5.0
