Vault City adds ‘luxurious’ imperial stout inspired by Dubai chocolate trend

Vault City is to launch a “luxurious” new beer inspired by the Dubai chocolate trend.

The Dubai-Style Chocolate Pistachio Imperial Stout launches via DTC on 27 May (rsp: £9.85/4x440ml).

With a “rich ingredient list including Belgian dark syrup, cacao nibs, brown sugar, and nut-free pistachio flavouring”, the brew was “a 13% showstopper packed with flavours of silky milk chocolate, rich pistachio cream, and golden syrup-soaked knafeh pastry”, said Vault City.

Brewed as part of the supplier’s ‘You Choose, We Brew’ competition, the stout was Vault City’s most requested beer of the year, it added, with over 1,000 fans clamouring “to see their dream dessert turned into a decadent stout”.

Although the brew carries a hefty price tag, shoppers can secure a 33% discount by signing up to Vault City’s crowdfunding campaign, which runs until 31 May.

“This beer is pure indulgence! It’s bold, decadent, and exactly what our fans asked for,” said Vault City co-founder Steven Smith-Hay. “We had over 1,000 requests for a Dubai-style stout across our competition and social channels, so we knew we had to make it happen.”
