Bottled 06/10/2020. Not real thick, but smooth, and a bit boozy. Highly sweet, but I suppose that was promisrd. Dunno if birthday cake is a specific murican flavour, but I suppose there's some lactosy creamyness that might fit. Plenty vanilla as well.

Pastry stout can do anything these days if it is in the hands of an accomplished postmodern stout brewer like Oklahoma’s Prairie, and this one is intended to taste like, well, a birthday cake… Thickly moussy, yellowish mocha-beige, slowly opening head on a black beer with thin burgundy edges. Powerful, indeed very desserty aroma of cake icing, ‘boterkoekenglazuur’, vanilla ice cream, chocolate liqueur, praliné, sponge cake, whipped cream, caramel, bath foam, hints of Nutella, rum-soaked raisins, sugar ‘pearls’, shoe polish, rum. Very sweet onset as expected, candied, but still managing to avoid overt stickiness thanks to a light, dim, underlying sourish touch, candied figs and plum jelly, softly carbonated, quickly turning to syrupy, massive layers of hazelnut paste, milk chocolate, toffee and caramel cake dough – with that subtle, almost ‘orangey’ sourish touch continuing; lots of cake icing, vanilla extract, Ovomaltine and latté macchiato effects in the finish, overwhelmingly almost, highlighted by a heating yet nowhere astringent, rum- and liqueur-like booziness. The sweetness remains dominant, but almost magically does not stick to the teeth too much – a huge plus in a beer like this, for me at least; for such exuberance and extravaganza, this ‘birthday cake stout’ is remarkably refined and, in a certain sense, ‘balanced’, clearly the product of a top pastry stout producer. A true bomb, even if it does not strictly belong to Prairie’s equally impressive Bomb series…

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a deep brown to black with almost no head. Straight up vanilla birthday cake flavoring on the nose (with sprinkles). Some milk chocolate as it warms, but all birthday cake. Thick and viscous body...definitely a continuation from Weekend and Basic Becky in the body and mouthfeel category. More vanilla, sprinkles and chocolate on the finish. Some white chocolate notes come out as it warms and slightly warming on the finish.
