Muscovado Date Walnut Muffin – A decadent pastry stout inspired by British baking

Meet Muscovado Date Walnut Muffin, a rich and indulgent pastry stout created in collaboration with Stepping Stone Brewing Co. This unique craft beer takes inspiration from a classic British walnut and date cake and transforms its familiar bakery flavors into a bold, dessert-inspired stout.

At the heart of this beer are toasted walnuts, sticky dates and dark muscovado sugar. The muscovado sugar brings deep notes of treacle, toffee and molasses, while the dates add a rich dried-fruit sweetness. Toasted walnuts contribute a nutty character that complements the darker malt flavors and gives the beer an extra layer of complexity.

A generous Maris Otter malt base provides the foundation, bringing warm biscuit and freshly baked muffin-like notes to the beer. Together, these flavors create a full and comforting pastry stout that sits somewhere between a decadent dessert and a carefully crafted dark beer.

Muscovado Date Walnut Muffin is a great example of how pastry stout brewing can take inspiration from the world of desserts while still allowing the character of the beer to shine through. It’s rich, sweet and packed with layers of flavor, making it a beer to take your time with.

Whether you’re a fan of imperial stouts, pastry stouts, dessert beers or rich dark craft beer, this Moersleutel collaboration offers something different to explore. Pair it with dessert, enjoy it after dinner, or share it with friends who believe there’s always room for one more treat.
