If only there was a good summer storm to go with my nice pastry stout, my Sweet Tooth.  Scanning the shelves, I saw that Lervig star and that was pretty much it.  A nice pastry stout, black as an eclipse that might be seen not too far away from here.  It&#8217;s also a good quiet celebration beer, to go with some recent news.  But, I think will detail that another day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2003\" style=\"width:353px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_211756-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rich and sticky looking pour, with a warm dark brown color.  Dark mocha head sets nicely and gently shrinks over a minute or so.  The aroma is very fitting for a pastry stout, full of vanilla, fresh muffins, syrup.  I think the coconut is in there too, but I might just be anticipating it.  The first sip is also a real blast of sweetness, so much that I can&#8217;t even untangle what I&#8217;m tasting.  Going back, there&#8217;s a hint of cocnut and some sharpness like gingerbread, the smoothness of vanilla chasing it all down.  Then a little licorice pokes its head out in the aftertaste.  Sitting inside, it&#8217;s a delight and even refreshing for me.  There is a certain amount of weight to it, and while smooth, it&#8217;s no breezy drink that flies by in a flash.  It also doesn&#8217;t take too long for the alcohol to start leaning on you, although only lightly.  But we are talking about an 11% beer, so it would be odd if that didn&#8217;t happen.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2004\" style=\"width:420px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/20260808_212923-scaled-e1786227741223.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supplier: La Mundial<br>Price: \u20ac6.90<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Still in the thoes of summer heat, but I feel the need for something dark.
