This beer cocktail transforms a standard lager into something richer and more dessert-like, with brown butter lending a toasted, nutty depth that mingles with the malt. The cream sherry adds a subtle dried-fruit sweetness while vanilla rounds out the edges, creating a drink that recalls butterscotch without becoming cloying. It drinks smooth and sessionable, a grown-up nod to the fictional wizarding world beverage that inspired countless imitations.
