Northern Monk Alcohol-Free Heaven
By Northern Monk · UK
An alcohol-free version of Northern Monk’s Heaven, an 8.4% chocolate and maple imperial stout. A trade listing gives chocolate, maple and vanilla flavours, and we think it is utterly special.
At 0.5% ABV, this isn’t alcohol-free under UK guidance, which keeps the term for 0.05% or less. We list it with alcohol-free beers, as UK shops do. How UK labels work
We couldn’t find it at The Alcohol Free Co, Dry Drinker or Wise Bartender, or on Northern Monk’s own shop, when we checked on 1 November 2026.
Tasting notes and what to expect
Northern Monk's Alcohol-Free Heaven is the highest-rated alcohol-free beer in the Unhopped directory (8.9/10 community score). The only description we found, from a trade listing (EEBRIA), calls it an alcohol-free version of Heaven, with chocolate, maple and vanilla flavours, at 0.5% ABV.
Flavours: The trade listing names chocolate, maple and vanilla. We found no description from Northern Monk of its colour, head, aroma or body, so we leave those out.
Palate and finish: This is a dessert beer rather than a session beer — sip it slowly.
Food pairings: Pairs as a dessert in itself, or with chocolate-forward desserts (brownies, chocolate fondant, chocolate ice cream), strong blue cheeses, or as an after-dinner beer by itself. We'd steer clear of light food with it.
How it compares: It is the highest-scoring beer in our directory, and the best-scoring alcohol-free stout we have reviewed. See the alcohol-free stout hub for the wider category.
