Dark cherry, oak spice and luxurious chocolate warmth.
This 14% barrel-aged stout is bold and layered, aged in Portuguese Ginja, Spanish sherry and Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for notes of wood, fruit liqueur and gentle heat. Syrupy amarena cherries deepen the flavor with rich sweetness. Cacao nibs, vanilla and tonka beans add an addictive dark chocolate, soft spice and almond-like roundness to the beer.

Built for those who like their barrel aged stouts intense and complex. Arrival is number five in our 10 Years Anniversary series, and it does not hold back.

Copenhagen 5/6 2026. 44 cl can from The Beer Hive, Amagerbrogade, Kbh. S. Can in De Moersleutel's usual design with their cool simple logo with the wrench and a futuristic rocketship as motif.

Pours fat and thick opaque dark brown with a mid-sized dark beige head. Stable. Settles as a thin patchy layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is intense with a sweet odor f dark malts, sweet fruit and alcohol. Sweet cherries soaked in sherry and sweet dark alcohol, leather, brown sugar and toffee. Marcipan. Hit of Tonka beans. Tart notes of sour berries.

Low carbonation. Thick, oily, viscous, fat, creamy, flat and milky texture. A little sticky.

Flavor is intense with a strong and heavy sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness with a sourish streak. Aftertaste is sweet and thick. Lingering. Finish is soft, sticky and boozy.

A heavy, sweet and boozy arrival. Even Denis Villeneuve would be impressed.
