Rum baba

Pastry Stout 10%

440ml 8 00

Moersleutel Pastry Factory Rum Baba is a decadent stout with rum, vanilla, and cassonade.

After extensive rum tasting, we found that Jamaican rum works best, with its fruity ester notes that complement the cassonade sugar and Belgian yeast. Rum, being distilled dark sugar, is perfectly complemented by the addition of some sugar at the end of the brew, giving it a rich, sweet depth. Enriched with Mroost 900 chocolate malt, this stout is thick, dark, and indulgent. Pastry in a can!

Ingredients: water, barley malt, rye, wheat, spelt, cassonade sugar, rum, vanilla, hops, yeast

Moersleutel Pastry Factory Rum Baba – Pastry Stout 10%

A Classic Pastry, Reimagined in Liquid Form

Moersleutel Pastry Factory Rum Baba is a decadent 10% pastry stout inspired by the iconic rum-soaked dessert. Thick, dark, and luxuriously indulgent, this beer brings together Jamaican rum, cassonade sugar, vanilla, and deep chocolate malt to create a stout that truly feels like pastry in a can.

Sweet, boozy, and richly layered — this is dessert brewing at its finest.

The Craft Behind Pastry Factory Rum Baba

Rum, Sugar & Belgian Yeast in Perfect Harmony

Rum Baba is all about synergy: every ingredient reinforces the next, building depth rather than excess.

Jamaican Rum: Fruity Ester Power

After extensive rum tasting (hard work, we know), we selected Jamaican rum for its expressive character:

  • Fruity esters

  • Warm spice

  • Elegant boozy depth

These notes beautifully complement both the cassonade sugar and the fermentation profile.

Cassonade Sugar: Dark Sweetness

Rum is distilled from dark sugar, so it felt only natural to reinforce that connection. A late addition of cassonade sugar brings:

  • Rich caramel sweetness

  • Depth and roundness

  • A soft, pastry-like finish

Belgian Yeast: Subtle Fruit & Complexity

A Belgian yeast strain adds gentle fruit esters and complexity, lifting the sweetness and preventing the beer from becoming too heavy.

Mroost 900 Chocolate Malt

To anchor all that sweetness, we enriched the stout with Mroost 900 chocolate malt, delivering:

  • Deep chocolate richness

  • Dark roasted tones

  • Structure and balance

Tasting Experience

Aroma: Rum-Soaked Pastry & Vanilla

The aroma opens with:

  • Jamaican rum warmth

  • Dark sugar and caramel

  • Vanilla cream

  • Rich chocolate malt

Inviting, indulgent, and unmistakably pastry-driven.

Flavor Profile: Sweet, Boozy & Decadent

Each sip reveals:

  • Rum-soaked cake character

  • Cassonade sugar sweetness

  • Vanilla softness

  • Dark chocolate depth

  • Subtle fruity esters from Belgian yeast

The flavors unfold slowly, revealing layers of dessert-like richness.

Mouthfeel & Finish: Thick & Luxurious

  • Full-bodied and dense

  • Smooth, velvety texture

  • Gentle boozy warmth

  • Long, sweet finish with lingering rum and chocolate

At 10% ABV, Rum Baba is indulgent but beautifully balanced.

Mroost 900 keeps the beer grounded, dark, and stout-forward despite its dessert intensity.

  • Coffee or espresso

  • Almond pastries
