NIGHTMARE OF CAKE '24 IMPERIAL MILK STOUT

On our '24 Uk tour we dropped into a small craft brewery in Glasgow who’s name escapes me,  no, Drygate brewery near that big old church that was the film location for that mini series that had swords and shirtless Scottish blokes in it.

We popped in for lunch and, once again the beer was the star of the day,  The food was cra.  But this beer was a beauty. Nightmare of cake imperial milk stout at 9.6% sounded great.

I ordered a half pint so I could try it, and something else as well, and they accidently poured me a pint, so they then poured me a half and soon after, said they couldn’t sell the pint and I could have it too... ( if I was up to it )

I like to help out a barman in need, so took the second one gratis and was luckily helped out in the drinking by dear wife, touring partner and stout lover Jen.

It was advertised as containing Butterscotch and Coconut, but I didn’t notice that until after I purchased and I couldn’t really pick them individually, so I guess they all worked in together with the chocolate and whatever, to form a well rounded dessert beer.

They said it went well with cake but I ordered a steak and chips, and it was the toughest bit of cow I’d ever tried to eat, needless to say I just drank.

Had they called it coconut butterscotch stout I probably would have shied away, but Nightmare of cake.  What a name.

The venue was great and close to a local commercial brewer, in fact almost in the same yard, but the local parking was 8 pounds an hour. No wonder Drygate advertises free bicycle parking.

I would have loved to be there at closing time to see a bunch of pissed Glaswegians trying to ride their pushies home.

Brew Love.
