The Moersleutel Calypso's Temptation Mega Pastry BA Stout, part of the 9-year anniversary series "9 Years Celebration VII" from the Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar, is a barrel-aged Imperial Pastry Stout with 14% ABV, inspired by the sea nymph Calypso and meant to be luxurious, seductive, and almost irresistible. The stout was aged in three American whiskey barrels: Weller Wheated for sweet softness, Sazerac Rye for spicy, slightly smoky notes, and Heaven Hill for a reliable, balanced base. Additionally, vanilla from Madagascar, Papua New Guinea, and rare beans from the Comoros are used, giving the beer a rich, pastry-like depth with a hint of tobacco. It is brewed with barley malt, rye, spelt, wheat, and oats. In the glass and on the palate, a complex interplay of creamy vanilla, warm whiskey notes, oak, and spices unfolds, giving the beer its complex yet captivating character. Bottled in a 44 cl can, the beer contains gluten-containing grains.
