Mix & Match

Mix & Match — Milk Stout with Oats, Vanilla, and Cocoa — Rebel's Brewery

Mix & Match is the Milk Stout from Rebel's Brewery, a craft brewery based in Rome (Lazio). Made with oats and the cold addition of lactose, vanilla, and cocoa nibs — roasted cocoa flakes obtained from processing cocoa beans — it is a dark beer that plays on multiple levels: the sweetness of lactose and vanilla, the intense roast of dark malts, and the complexity of cocoa. With a dark color and cappuccino-colored foam, Mix & Match is a Milk Stout that lives up to its name: a mix of ingredients perfectly balanced.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, it is enveloping and indulgent: chocolate, dried fruit, and hazelnut emerge from the dark malts, with vanilla adding a sweet and floral note in the background. On the palate, it is smooth and rounded thanks to lactose and oats, with prominent chocolate and cocoa notes well balanced with the hop character. The finish is long, warm, and slightly sweet — like a handcrafted chocolate in liquid form.
