Moersleutel Coquito – Barrel Aged Pastry Stout 14%

A Tropical Holiday Classic Reimagined

Inspired by the beloved Puerto Rican festive drink Coquito, this decadent barrel-aged pastry stout is a celebration of warmth, spice, and tropical indulgence. Rich, creamy, and luxuriously layered, Moersleutel Coquito captures the soul of a holiday favorite and transforms it into a bold, expressive stout.

Aged in 20-year-old Martinique Rhum Agricole barrels, this beer delivers vibrant tropical fruit, light caramel sweetness, and elegant rum character. To complete the experience, we finished it with Costa Rican vanilla, toasted coconut, and a delicate touch of cinnamon, creating a stout that feels festive, indulgent, and unmistakably tropical.

A holiday treat in a glass — rich, spiced, and beautifully balanced.


The Craft Behind Coquito

Rhum Agricole Barrels & Caribbean-Inspired Flavor

20-Year-Old Martinique Rhum Agricole Barrels

Unlike molasses-based rum, Rhum Agricole is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice, giving it a brighter, more expressive character. After two decades of aging, these barrels contribute:

  • Tropical fruit vibrancy

  • Soft grassy and cane sugar notes

  • Light caramel sweetness

  • Elegant, restrained boozy warmth

These characteristics form the perfect base for a Coquito-inspired stout.

Pastry Additions with Purpose

To echo the traditional Coquito profile, we carefully layered:

  • Costa Rican vanilla – creamy sweetness and depth

  • Toasted coconut – rich, nutty warmth

  • Cinnamon – subtle spice for balance and festive character

Each addition is measured and refined, enhancing the beer without overwhelming the barrel and malt complexity.
