A Beer that Tastes like Deep-Fried Mars Bar? Vault City’s Latest Release is Stout of this World

beer that tastes just like iconic Scottish delicacy the deep-fried Mars Bar – and at 15.5% ABV it’s certainly one for FRYHARD fans.

DDF M*RS BAR combines the nostalgic taste of chocolate malt and cacao nibs with REAL battered Mars Bar into an imperial stout with an ABV 15.5% that will ‘choc’ the senses

Vault City Brewing co-founder Steven Smith-Hay says the stout will take sweet toothed, sour beer fans back to their favourite night-time takeaways

AN Edinburgh brewer has produced a

Vault City Brewing – the UK’s best-selling sour beer producer – has reimagined the double deep-fried m*rs bar into an imperial stout, paying homage to the infamous Scottish snack and showcasing the country’s culture in all its glory. The Edinburgh brewery worked with Neon Raptor Brewing Co. to pack the imperial stout to the brim with chocolate malt and cacao nibs, even using real battered Mars Bars during the top-secret production process to guarantee an authentic deep-fried flavour.

The deep-fried Mars Bar is said to have originated at The Haven Chip Bar in Stonehaven, where a cheeky schoolboy asked if his Mars Bar could be laden in fish batter and deep-fried on a dare. The dish is now better known amongst Scottish revellers as a late-night leveller, but its latest incarnation isn’t one for sobering up containing 6.8 units of alcohol.

Double Deep Fried M*rs Bar is the latest in a long line of innovative flavoured beers paying homage to Scottish classics from Vault City. In January the brewery released an Iron Brew flavoured beer, which sold over 10,000 cans in less than 24 hours.

Every two weeks the Portobello based brewery drops new flavours, with DDF M*RS BAR part of May’s Sour Sunday release. Other flavours this month include Raspberry Rocky Road, Tonka White Forest Gateau, and Strawberry Sundae. Earlier this year the company launched its first-ever core range across 200 independent bars, pubs and taprooms across the UK. It is now available in more than 600 Tesco stores nationwide, and recently became the supermarket giant’s best-selling craft beer.
