After the first Tartarus beer I was on a roll and thought I’d go for something challenging. This was unfortunately a bit too far. Flavours that I’m normally ok with but not with such intensity. Maple and vanilla were just too overpowering. Combine that with the big booziness and it wasn’t much enjoyable. The sickly sweet aftertaste was the icing on the cake. I have a few more of their beers to try yet, no more pastry stouts though, so happy with that!
