Each year in the Horizont Night Shift line, we present to you a new pastry stout. The 2022 version is an expression of an American classic dessert, the pecan pie. The Pecan pie dates back to the 1880’s and is very popular in the Southern States where bourbon whiskey is made, so it was a natural fit to age this beer in Tennessee whiskey barrels. The distillery from which the barrels came emphasizes considerably more vanilla essence which is perfect for this brew. The base beer is an Imperial Stout which is a thick, full-bodied beer which was put into the barrels then we added copious amounts of home-roasted pecans, thus extracting the flavors from it. Enjoy this special beer!

33 cl boxed bottle, poured lightly chilt into a Teku glass, in Toulouse, France.
Nice pour - good foam on dark brown brew.
Nose is dark roast malt, little hazelnut, dark chocolate.
Taste is a fine blend of dark malts, vanilla, a good whiskey barrel note. The pecans reveal themselves late. The alcohol is in the mix, for sure, but doesn’t overwhelm.
Mouthfeel is full, not thick. Carbonation fell off a little after 2 years in bottle.
Overall, a lovely European take on pastry stout.
