Now, you can sound extra fancy when you tell your friends your sampled an Opera Cake Stout this weekend, and you’ve got dessert for that dinner party with your in-laws. It is made with layers of (orange) almond sponge cake soaked in coffee syrup (or Grand Marnier syrup), layered with ganache and coffee (or Grand Marnier). Can artwork features local artist Sam Markus.

Starting March 11, Fistful of Cake will be available in Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. The silky, nuttiness of Fistful of Cake’s milk stout is what remains on the palate and allows its adjuncts to come out to play, much like the bitter and creamy elements of the Opera Cake depend on the consistency of the sponge layers to create the most soothing of flavor bombs.Īs you can see, brewing a beer (or baking a cake) with layers is no small feat - and we want you to take a load off, so we did it for you.įistful of Cake will debut on Friday, March 8 at 4pm in our West Midtown taproom. Sipping on Fistful of Cake is akin to snacking on the French pastry - there are undeniable notes of vanilla and coffee, but they’re layered just so the roasted sweetness of the underlying beer shines through.

Our brewers took a decadent imperial milk stout base and layered in vanilla beans, followed by coffee. Fistful of Cake.resplendent with spring flowers.
