RAR Brewing 10 Layers White Cake
Strong Ale 8.6 º
10 Layers White Cake is a decadent interpretation of an American Strong Ale, reimagining the style through a lush dessert lens. A foundation of rich, bready malt supports indulgent layers of creamy white chocolate and sweet vanilla, while toasted coconut and buttery macadamia nuts provide a complex, tropical nuttiness. Despite the robust ABV, the alcohol is smoothly integrated behind the silky sweetness of lactose. This beer balances the power of a strong ale with the sensory profile of a luxury confection, offering a lingering, velvety finish that evokes the experience of a classic white layer cake.
Appearance. Deep amber to light brown (16–18 SRM) with a slight haze likely resulting from the inclusion of nuts and coconut oils. Topped with a moderate, creamy, light tan head that shows fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity featuring prominent notes of sweet vanilla, shredded coconut, and white chocolate. The malt profile is bready and toasty, reminiscent of cake batter, with a subtle earthy nuttiness from macadamia nuts and a moderate alcohol presence. Hop aroma is low, suppressed by the bold dessert adjuncts.
Taste. Initial impression is rich and sweet, dominated by white chocolate and creamy vanilla. The mid-palate reveals toasted coconut and a buttery macadamia nut character, supported by a caramel and bready malt backbone. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as low due to the high residual sugar and lactose, leading to a lingering, sweet, and somewhat syrupy finish.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a heavy, tongue-coating texture enhanced by lactose. Carbonation is medium-low. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, providing a pleasant glow without harshness.
