Jopen's Meesterstuk 2020 is an ambitious pastry stout built around caramel, sea salt and brownie flavours. This full-bodied beer brings dessert into the glass: sweet vanilla and milk sugar form the foundation, while roasted, bitter notes provide balance. After 434 days of maturation on Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, the stout has developed a soft bourbon character.

The interplay of caramel and sea salt gives this beer a distinctive taste dimension that transcends simple sweetness. At 13% ABV with sufficient carbonation, it drinks full and rounded, finishing with lingering bourbon warmth. A beer for those who crave dessert and strong stouts in one pour.
