Following its success in 2024, alcohol-free pioneer Nirvana Brewery has brought back its Chocolate Milk Stout (0.5% ABV) in time for the advent of winter.
Flavoured with dark chocolate and vanilla, head brewer James Rabagliati has again produced what he describes as a ‘decadent’ stout with an ‘indulgent’ richness.
Together with dark roasted malt, the combination of chocolate and vanilla helps create a rich, creamy and luxurious beer that has notes of toffee, caramel and lightly roasted coffee – ideal for the winter months and festive season. It pours with a thick, creamy head.
Available in 330ml cans, the seasonal special joins Nirvana’s seven core brews, including its existing stout.
To complement and celebrate its return, Nirvana has also produced five golden cans containing the stout – if found, lucky customers will be rewarded with a month’s worth of beer from the brewery.
Rabagliati said: “Winter beers can be the most challenging to perfect, given their historical role as a more indulgent brew – ones that are designed to be sipped and savoured, as opposed to those of the summer, where the focus is on refreshment. Chocolate Milk Stout ticked all the right boxes last year, so it wasn’t a hard decision to offer it again.”
Nirvana Chocolate Milk Stout, 0.5% ABV, 330ml can/£2.50 RRP.
