The Bruery takes its pastry stouts seriously enough to even have an entire Bakery Series of beers to celebrate them, and the latest release in the series evokes banana nut muffins. It’s named, unsurprisingly, Banana Nut Muffin, and it’s an 8.1% imperial stout brewed with bananas, vanilla, and walnuts, and it’s available now in cans.

Details:

The Bruery has donned its aprons and oven mitts and whipped up a brand new batch of its Bakery Series, this time featuring the warm pastry notes of banana nut muffins. Fans of the series will notice a few upgrades: a slightly lower ABV of 8.1% as well as the series now moving to a 16oz 4-pack for even more Bakery to love! Preheat your oven and get ready for a delicious delivery straight from The Bruery’s Bakery, hitting shelves across the country now.

Bakery: Banana Nut Muffin is a warming imperial stout with banana, walnut, and natural vanilla flavor. Bite into this bold imperial stout and experience a fresh-outta-the-oven banana nut muffin in your glass. Inspired by the morning treat, this stout is full-bodied with rich banana character balanced with nutty flavor from the addition of walnuts, finishing with just a touch of sweetness. The bakery is open for business.

“Bakery: Banana Nut Muffin delivers the perfect combination of fresh early-morning aromas that will awaken the nostalgia in everyone,” says Brand Director, Caitie Gold. “The reformulation of this series was an exciting challenge: we were able to achieve a full-flavor pastry stout at an 8.1% ABV in order to get this can into a 4-pack for fans who want a bit more. Pair this new pastry stout with dessert OR with breakfast… we won’t judge”

This certainly sounds interesting, and not really a flavor profile I’ve seen before. It joins previous entries in the Bakery Series, Sticky Bun and Boysenberry Pie.
