A Stout new addition inspired by viral Dubai chocolate bars
EDINBURGH-BASED sour beer brewer Vault City has unveiled a new imperial stout inspired by one of TikTok‘s most viral sweets, Dubai Chocolate.
A massively requested brew from Vault City, the new imperial stout is a 13% ABV showstopper, according to the Edinburgh firm, and is set to become a breakout star for Vault City.
The new brew packs in flavours of silky milk chocolate, rich pistachio cream and golden-syrup soaked knafeh pastry – which is found inside the bars of Dubai-Style Chocolate.
Vault City has already called the brew its “boldest dessert stout to date” and will roll out this creamy addition on 27 May with a price of £9.85 per 330ml can.
The new release comes as a result of Vault City’s ‘You Choose, We Brew’ competition and was the most requested beer flavour of the year, making up around 10% of all entries, as fans clamoured to see this viral trend turned into a decadent stout brew.
And to encourage some further sales from consumers, Vault City has kicked off a 33% off sale on its website as part of their Crowdfunder Sale.
The sale is running until midnight on 31 May and comes off the back of Vault City’s successful crowdfunding initiative to raise money towards its new brewery.
This new Dubai Chocolate inspired brew follows on from a similarly sweet dessert influence in January when Vault City launched its Iron Brew Raspberry Ripple sour beer.
Steven Smith-Hay, co-founder of Vault City, said: “This beer is pure indulgence! It’s bold, decadent and exactly what our fans asked for.
“We had over 1000 requests for a Dubai Chocolate stout across our competition and social channels, so we knew we had to make it happen.
“The response so far has been incredible – from crowdfunder orders to brew day sign-ups, our community is really showing up for us.”
