Stollen from Ivor is a dip into the fun and playfulness of beer, taking inspiration from flavours of the German seasonal sweet treat, Stollen cake, filled with delicious spices, nuts and dried fruit. Or for you all who’ve had to make the text bigger on your phone, the name might sound awfully inspired by a certain chain fashion shop that was particularly popular in and around Manchester since the 60’s. We’ll let you figure it out…
A Munich heavy mash builds out the foundations of this festive stout with additional dark and chocolate malt layering on complex base notes of warmth and toastiness. We’ve then added candied orange and lemon peel paired with cardamom and all spice to wrap this drink up in all the hallmarks of the Christmas season. A delightfully rich flavour with a balanced body, perfect for drinking on cold nights.

440ml can. A dark, gently spiced, lightly roasted, silky smooth Stout. Not too dry, not too sweet, not too spicy. An easy-drinking, chocolatey, fruity, winter spiced stout. German stollen cake doesn’t contain chocolate, of course, but… not going to be too picky haha.

440 ml can, from Left Field Beer, England. ABV is 5%. Black colour, small tan head. Aroma of raisins, prunes and other dark dried fruits. The flavour is not as sweet as I feared, notes of dark malts and dark dried fruits, a hint of marzipan, low bitterness. .
