Double Vision Brewing's 'Dessert Island' Arrives at Main Mart Chigasaki Tokiwacho
Main Mart Chigasaki Tokiwacho has received Double Vision Brewing's pastry stout, 'Dessert Island.' Built around flavors reminiscent of nougat, caramel, roasted peanuts, and milk chocolate, this is a rich 440 ml beer at 10.5% ABV.
Hop BroA desert-island-level stout has landed at Main Mart in Chigasaki. Double Vision Brewing's 'Dessert Island' sounds sweetly deceptive from the name alone, doesn't it?
MugiWhat! An island in beer form? And it's a chocolate bar recreation too? So it's like drinking dessert?
Hop BroExactly. And the style is a pastry stout. In other words, it's a dark beer packed with sweet elements like nougat, caramel, roasted peanuts, and milk chocolate.
MugiPastry means sweets, right? So does that mean it's like a dark beer that tastes like candy? My brain is having trouble keeping up!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. With Gladfield malt, roasted malt, brown sugar, and cacao nibs, it builds a balance between sweetness and roasted depth.
MugiBrown sugar too!? The ingredient list is so fancy, this is less beer and more like liquid dessert!
Hop BroBut it's not just heavy. The idea is a beer to savor little by little. At 440 ml and 10.5% alcohol, it's the kind of drink you enjoy slowly, following the aroma rather than chugging it.
MugiJust hearing 10.5% makes me feel like I'll be the one getting tipsy first. This might be best enjoyed with a digestif-like mindset!
Hop BroAnd the fact that you can choose it right there in the shop in the Chigasaki/Totsuka area is part of the appeal. You find a guest beer that catches your eye and decide, right then and there, that this is your beer for today.
MugiWow, I love that kind of encounter! It's the sort of beer that appeals to dark beer fans, and to anyone wanting to try the character of New Zealand craft beer.
Hop BroIn the end, if you're looking for a dark beer with clearly defined sweetness, this should hit the mark. You already look like someone thinking, one glass won't be enough.
MugiYou caught me! I totally want to drink it too! If we raise a glass in Chigasaki, we'll probably sink right into this Dessert Island!
