You or someone else mentioned this before. What is a beer caramelizer? Certainly not a way to make caramel out of beer?The Beer Caramelizer.
I did. I'm really hoping Santa was listening. So the beer carameliser is a long metal rod attached to a wood handle. At the end of the rod is a stainless steel nub that you heat to red hot with an acetylene torch. I'll be using my creme brûlée torch. Once the nub is good and hot, you dunk that hot end into a glass of cold beer and it instantly caramelises the sugars in the beer which changes its flavour profile. This is especially good to use with stouts and other dark beers. As you can see, I take beer VERY seriously.You or someone else mentioned this before. What is a beer caramelizer?

In some beers, yes, like a milk stout or some other sweeter stout (like a peanut butter or coffee stout for example). It doesn't warm the beer because the heat is caramelising the sugars but it produces this thick cap/head on top of the beer which is warm. So it's a unique drinking sensation.I am glad that someone else asked because I was curious as well.
Does it give the beer a sweeter taste?
