This pitch-black Imperial Stout is a tribute to the wise storytellers and bon vivants of this world. A creamy dark brown foam head releases inviting hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans, intertwined with sweet and fruity notes of cognac. The first sip delivers an explosion of rich flavours: bitter cocoa, freshly brewed coffee and a subtle smokiness harmonize beautifully with the sweet and warm influences of cognac. The beer’s oily texture clinging to the glass reveals its fullness, complemented by a warming alcohol presence on the palate. Finally, the finish is long and intense, with lingering warmth from the alcohol and the cognac notes.

Donkerbruin bier met beige schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is krachtig warm met iets van cognac, wat chocolade, koffie en wat rook.
