Brewed for Theydon_Bois wedding with Sue (07/09/13). Brendan is Theydon and Sues faithful choccy lab (see TB’s avatar) and he has a sweet tooth so this brew is for him!

Sweet Dream takes a rich and complex malt background with added lactose for a base and then adds tons of cocoa nibs and vanilla beans to accentuate the chocolate notes from the malt. The result is a full bodied, complex 5.3% stout bursting with chocolate and vanilla. Brendan’s version has the addition of oak chips soaked in Cooley Distillery’s Michael Collins Irish Whisky.
