Melt

About this beer

An exceptionally indulgent Chocolate and Vanilla Cream Stout from Derby's Shiny Brewery, created as the brewery's first exploration of an ice cream-inspired stout. Melt brings together rich chocolate, smooth vanilla and a thick, creamy texture to deliver a dessert-like drinking experience that blurs the boundaries between craft beer and pudding. At 8% ABV, this substantial stout is designed around an intensely rich and comforting flavour profile, combining deep chocolate character with the softer sweetness of vanilla. The result is a smooth, full-bodied beer with a luxurious texture and a distinctly confectionery-inspired personality. Drawing inspiration from chocolate and vanilla ice cream, Melt offers the familiar appeal of a classic frozen dessert in a bold, expressive dark beer. The brewery recommends shaking the container for thirty seconds and allowing it to rest for five minutes before serving, highlighting the unusual presentation of this release. Despite its creamy character, Melt is unfined and vegan-friendly, demonstrating Shiny Brewery's commitment to producing imaginative dessert-style beers without relying on animal-derived ingredients. A distinctive and indulgent release for enthusiasts of rich, sweet and experimental stouts.
