Taste & Aroma
Thick, velvety and unapologetically rich. Expect waves of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and deep malt sweetness, followed by creamy vanilla smoothness and warm, aromatic spice from the tonka beans. The finish is long, complex and slightly warming thanks to the 12% ABV — bold but beautifully balanced.
It’s smooth rather than harsh, indulgent rather than heavy. A slow-sipping experience.
About the Brewery
Lervig has built global recognition for pushing the limits of what beer can be, and 3 Bean Stout is a perfect example of their fearless creativity. Originally brewed as a special project, it quickly became a cult favourite — now widely regarded as one of the benchmark imperial pastry stouts in the world. Rich, complex and technically brilliant, it showcases Lervig at full power.
Perfect Cheese Pairings
Big beer needs big cheese — and this one loves intensity, sweetness and depth.
Blue cheese – Stilton, Roquefort or Danish Blue. The salt and tang cut through the richness while the beer amplifies creamy intensity. - The Danablu from February’s Scandinavian Box was the ideal accompaniment!
Aged hard cheeses – Extra mature cheddar, Comté or Gouda. Caramelised, nutty notes mirror the stout’s roasted sweetness.
Washed rind cheeses – Rich, meaty and funky flavours create incredible depth with the stout’s dark complexity.
Mascarpone or rich soft cheese with honey – Dessert pairing perfection.
Why we love it
It drinks like a chocolate truffle, feels like a special occasion and turns a cheese board into a full sensory event.
