Tartarus Beers - Rainbow Serpent

Prepare yourself for a seriously indulgent treat with Rainbow Serpent, a deliciously decadent 5.8% Rocky Road Milk Stout from Leeds' Tartarus Beers. Inspired by the irresistible combination of chocolate, marshmallow, toffee and hazelnuts found in the classic rocky road dessert, this wonderfully rich stout is brewed with lactose for extra sweetness and body, before being conditioned with vanilla, chocolate, toffee, marshmallow and hazelnut. The result is a beautifully layered dessert beer bursting with luxurious chocolate character, nutty richness and sweet confectionery flavours. It's a fantastic example of Tartarus' imaginative approach to brewing, transforming a much-loved sweet treat into a gloriously indulgent stout.

Pouring a deep, almost black colour, Rainbow Serpent delivers an inviting combination of rich cocoa, creamy vanilla and toasted hazelnut, complemented by the unmistakable sweetness of marshmallow and caramelised toffee. On the palate, expect generous waves of smooth milk chocolate and nutty richness, followed by soft vanilla sweetness and a deliciously sticky, dessert-like finish. The lactose provides a luscious, rounded mouthfeel, while the darker roasted malt character offers a welcome contrast to the sweeter additions. At 5.8% ABV, Rainbow Serpent delivers plenty of indulgence without the intensity of a heavyweight imperial stout, making it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys rich, chocolate-forward beers with a playful pastry stout twist.
