Moersleutel Heavy Duties Bean Butcher – Pastry Stout 11%

Homage to the Beans. Fresh from the Pastry Oven.

Moersleutel Heavy Duties Bean Butcher is a monster 11% pastry stout built as a true celebration of beans — four of our absolute favorites, brought together in one unapologetically indulgent beer.

Vanilla. Coffee. Chocolate. Tonka.
Each chosen with care, each playing a vital role in creating a stout inspired by the aroma and richness of a freshly baked pastry straight from the oven.

This is Heavy Duties indulgence at its finest.

The Craft Behind Bean Butcher

Four Beans. One Decadent Vision.

Bean Butcher was designed to let premium beans shine, supported by a malt base engineered for smoothness, depth, and balance.

The Base Beer: Built for Indulgence

The foundation is a carefully selected blend of:

  • Barley malt – depth and structure

  • Rye – subtle spice and body

  • Spelt & wheat – smoothness and creaminess

Together, they create a full, silky mouthfeel — the perfect canvas for intense adjunct character.

Meet the Beans

Tanzanian Chocolate Beans – KRAK Chocolate

Sourced from KRAK Chocolate, the Tanzanian cacao brings:

  • Medium-sweet chocolate richness

  • Harmonious roast and sweetness

  • Notes of caramel and cocoa

Elegant and balanced, it forms the chocolate backbone of the beer.

Coffee Beans – Essential & Expressive

Because life without coffee? Impossible.
Coffee adds:

  • Roasted depth

  • Subtle bitterness

  • Aromatic warmth

It grounds the sweetness and adds pastry realism.

Vanilla Beans – Creamy & Bakery-Like

Vanilla contributes:

  • Creamy sweetness

  • Soft, dessert-like richness

  • That unmistakable bakery aroma

Tonka Beans – Warm & Decadent

Tonka brings complexity with:

  • Almond and marzipan notes

  • Hints of bourbon and spice

  • A warm, luxurious finish

Together, vanilla and tonka deliver a fresh pastry sweetness that ties everything together.
