Directions

Dive into a world of rich and complex flavours with The Rumstufian Beer, a daring concoction that marries the robustness of ale with the nuanced spirits of gin and Fino sherry. Perfect for the adventurous palate, this beer cocktail offers a journey through spicy, citrus, and sweet landscapes, ending in a smooth, creamy finish that’s utterly unforgettable.

Start by gently warming the ale in a saucepan over low heat. Be careful not to boil; just warm it enough to blend flavours smoothly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and frothy. Slowly mix in the gin and Fino sherry to create a smooth mixture.

Gradually add the warm ale to the egg and alcohol mixture, stirring continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.

Add the whole cloves and a dash of allspice into the mix, stirring gently to infuse the flavours.

Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a pre-warmed, heat-resistant beer mug or stein to remove the cloves and any egg clumps, ensuring a smooth drinking experience.

Garnish with a Lemon Twist and a Cinnamon stick and a sprinkle of Nutmeg for added aroma and flavour.

Serving Glass:

Serve in a traditional beer mug or stein that has been pre-warmed to maintain the temperature of the drink. The warmth of the glass enhances the aromas and flavours, creating a more immersive tasting experience.
