Five Barrel Pitfall Chocolate & Cherry Pastry Stout Can 440ml

Five Barrel Brewing’s Pitfall Chocolate & Cherry Pastry Stout is dessert in a glass—with a kick. This rich, full-bodied stout pours jet black with a creamy tan head and doesn’t waste time getting to the good stuff. Up front, you get a big hit of sweet cherry, like a cherry cordial cracked open on a winter night. That’s quickly followed by smooth, velvety chocolate and a malty backbone that keeps everything balanced. It’s sweet, but not cloying—think pastry stout, not a sugar bomb. At 7%, it’s got enough warmth to remind you it’s packing heat, but it drinks way easier than it should. Great for sipping slow, sharing with friends, or pairing with an actual slice of cake. If you’re into bold flavors and love a stout that leans into its dessert side without going overboard, Pitfall hits the mark. Just be ready for round two—it’s dangerously drinkable.
