The Moersleutel Turbinado Cookie, officially Pastry Factory: Turbinado Cookie, is an Imperial Pastry Stout with 10% ABV from the Moersleutel Craft Brewery in Alkmaar and part of the Pastry Factory series, which focuses entirely on sweet, dessert-like stouts. The beer demonstrates how much flavor can be packed into high-quality sugar: Turbinado cane sugar provides a refined depth of caramel, honey, and toffee, Ugandan bourbon vanilla contributes earthy chocolate notes, and Cuban cocoa adds fruity spice and nutty tones. A soft malt base and a playful hint of s'mores complete the profile, so the stout combines the comfort of a cookie with the complexity of a carefully composed beer. In the glass, it appears deep black, with aromas of caramel, roasted malt, dark chocolate, and vanilla, and on the palate, it feels thick, velvety, and lush, with a sweet but balanced structure. It is served at about 11 to 12 °C and pairs well as a dessert on its own as well as with chocolate desserts. Bottled in a 44 cl can, the beer contains gluten-containing grains.
