A deep fried delicacy is a stout addition

Vault City teamed up with Neon Raptor to create the new DDF M*rs Bar sour stout.
Vault City Brewing pays homage to an iconic Scottish snack with new deep-fried mars bar flavoured beer.

VAULT City brewing has reimagined a Scottish chippy staple with the launch of the new deep fried mars bar stout.

The new DDF – double deep fried –M*rs Bar  packs in the iconic flavour of a deep fried mars bar into an imperial stout with chocolate malt and cacao nibs according to the sour beer brewer.

Vault City also said the new launch even used real battered mars bars during the secret production process to help guarantee an authentic flavour.

Steven Smith-Hay, co-founder of Vault City, said: “Deep fried m*rs bars are as synonymous with Scottish culture as haggis or Irn-Bru, so we though why not bring this national treasure to life in a beer?”

Double Deep Fried M*rs Bar makes up the latest in a line of Scottish flavour inspired sour beers from the brewer which also includes an Iron Brew flavoured sour, Iron Brew Xtra as well its Bruichladdich Barrel Aged Whisky Sour.

The Edinburgh brewery worked alongside Neon Raptor Brewing Co to deliver the new sour stout and makes up part of Vault City’s upcoming May Sour Sunday release.

Other flavour launches from April have included Raspberry Rocky Road, Tonka White Forest Gateau and Strawberry Sundae, which are available to purchase from the brewer’s online store now.

These new launches also follow on from the brewer’s trio of launches including Paradise Punch, Overnight Oats and Mango Raspberry Melba.

Smith Hay said: “We’re always pushing the boundaries of beer to open drinkers’ eyes to new flavours, and using real deep fried mars bars in the process means DDF M*rs Bar is no exception.

“It certainly isn’t aimed at the health market, but not everything has to be good for you, and much like the snack that inspired it, it’s too tasty not to try for yourself.

“If you’re a fry-hard fan of the Scottish delicacy, you’d ‘batter’ not miss out!”
