Moersleutel EUREKA: Carrot Cake Barley Wine

Pastry Meets Power. Decadence, Reimagined.

For this Moersleutel EUREKA, we tried something completely new — and unapologetically indulgent:
a Carrot Cake Barley Wine.

We love our pastries here at Moersleutel (duh), and carrot cake has always held a special place in our hearts. So instead of just baking it, we decided to engineer it into beer form. The result is a bold, pastry-driven barley wine that blurs the line between dessert and digestif.

This beer is triple mashed for a thick, luxurious body that mirrors the mouthfeel of a freshly baked carrot cake — rich, dense, and deeply satisfying. Brewed with five different grains and an abundance of adjuncts, this is decadence in its purest form.

The Craft Behind Carrot Cake Barley Wine

Triple Mash, Five Grains & Full Pastry Expression

This EUREKA release was all about texture, warmth, and layered sweetness.

Triple Mash for Cake-Like Body

By triple mashing, we extracted maximum richness and viscosity, creating:

  • A thick, almost batter-like mouthfeel

  • Deep malt sweetness

  • The structural backbone needed for heavy pastry additions

Five-Grain Foundation

The base beer is built on:

  • Barley malt – depth and strength

  • Wheat & oats – softness and creaminess

  • Rye – subtle spice and body

  • Spelt – rustic grain complexity

Together, they form the perfect canvas for dessert-level flavors.

Carrot Cake, Deconstructed

To recreate the full carrot cake experience, we layered in classic elements:

Cassonade Sugar

Adds:

  • Deep brown sugar sweetness

  • Caramelized warmth

  • Moist cake character

Walnut

Provides:

  • Nutty richness

  • Authentic carrot cake texture and flavor

Coffee

A subtle addition for:

  • Depth

  • Balance

  • A gentle roasted edge that grounds the sweetness

Vanilla & Spice Blend

We used a carefully measured blend of:

  • Vanilla – creamy sweetness

  • Cinnamon – warm spice

  • Ginger – gentle heat

  • Clove & nutmeg – bakery-style depth

These spices melt together into a comforting, familiar dessert profile.

Tasting Experience

Aroma: Bakery-Fresh & Comforting

The aroma opens with:

  • Warm spices

  • Brown sugar

  • Vanilla

  • Walnut cake

  • Soft malt sweetness

It smells like walking into a kitchen mid-bake.

Flavor Profile: Rich, Spiced & Indulgent

Each sip delivers:

  • Sweet, spiced cake batter

  • Brown sugar and caramel

  • Nutty walnut depth

  • Vanilla creaminess

  • Gentle coffee bitterness

The flavors unfold slowly, revealing layers of dessert complexity.

Mouthfeel & Finish: Thick, Warming & Luxurious

  • Extremely full-bodied

  • Dense, silky texture

  • Long, warming finish

  • Lingering spice and sweetness

This is a beer made for slow sipping.

What Makes This EUREKA Special?

A Dessert Turned Barley Wine

Instead of adding pastry flavors to a stout, we chose barley wine for its natural sweetness and depth — the perfect base for carrot cake.

Texture-Driven Brewing

Triple mashing and grain selection were used to replicate cake-like mouthfeel, not just flavor.

True EUREKA Spirit

Experimental, bold, and slightly ridiculous — exactly how we like it.

Perfect Pairings

Honestly? This is the dessert.
But it also pairs beautifully with:

  • Vanilla ice cream

  • Cream cheese frosting

  • Espresso

  • A quiet evening and a big glass

Serving Tips

  • Serve at: 12–14°C

  • Glassware: Snifter or small tulip

  • Enjoy slowly: rich, spiced, and deeply indulgent
