A Belgian Royal Stout from Flanders aged for 2yrs in Balvenie whisky barrels
1892 - William Grant bouwt de Balvenie distilleerderij in het verlaten Balvenie New House. Anno 2018 vergisten we Black Albert tot 15% en voegen die toe aan een stel fantastische whisky & sherry barrels van deze distilleerderij. Om The Balvenie DoubleWood te maken, neemt David Stewart MBE whisky die minstens 12 jaar in traditionele whiskyvaten, Amerikaans eiken ex-bourbonvaten en hogsheads heeft gelegen, en verplaatst deze naar Spaanse eiken ex-Oloroso sherryvaten voor nog eens negen maanden. De Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky dankt zijn karakter aan de rijping in twee verschillende houtsoorten. Elke fase verleent verschillende kwaliteiten aan de resulterende single malt whisky. De traditionele vaten verzachten en geven een delicaat karakter, het sherryhout geeft diepte en een volle smaak en de laatste paar maanden in onze vaten zorgen ervoor dat de whisky's harmonieus met elkaar kunnen versmelten.

Black, deep roasted, sweet and bitter, alcoholic tar. Maybe not top of the bill anymore but still a very nice beer.

Bottle thanks to sjogro. Black with creamy beige head. Creamy chocolate, lots of chocolate, vanilla, oak, blackberries, blueberries, earthy, light licorice, pecans and walnuts. Solid medium sweet, medium bitter. Full bodied, not really boozy. Really nice, Struise still makes some damn fine beers sometimes. Love the nuttiness in here.

Pours black, small to no tanned head. Scent is raw, whiskey, mild oak. Mild roastyness. Taste is full, roasty, intense. Sharp, boozy whiskey experience. Not as Full-bodied as hoped. I wanted to try this since it used to be one of my biggest whale. Quality overall by them has declined and it shows. Not bad, but far from the magic they used to offer.

Bottled 330ml (Beerdome)
Black Damnation 10. Dark brown colour, brownish head. Toasted, alcoholic (sherry?) in the nose. Medium-bodied. Smooth with dark fruits, sweetish cherry, raisins, no so alcoholic than ABV indicates. Stout which tastes like Belgian quadrupel (after sherry cask treatment).

LCI. Subtiel en rijk. Waar ze die 15 prokenten verstopt hebben, mag Satan weten.

2018 batch released in early 2021. Near black with a ring tan head. Aroma of booze, oak, caramel, roast, coffee, whisky and chocolate. Ripe dark fruit and fudge notes coming out also as the beer opens up. As you drink more the booziness which initially dominates the foreground goes to the background and it becomes a joy. Flavour is heavy sweet and moderate bitter. Full bodied with quite some alcohol warmth and very soft carbonation. Fun to try this after all these years and I wonder how it compares to the original.

On tap at Craft Beer. 18.0% abv bottle. Big thanks to Mes for sharing the Struise goodies yet again! Opaque black beer, small dense tan head. Suprisingly light nose. The palate is also quite light and a little soft but there is a presence to it - it’s not ephemeral. Whisky is immediately noticeable but restrained and tempered with a little fruit. Some sweet notes and then mild wood. Not picking up any sherry - more’s the pity. Finsihes semi dry and then the alcohol is noticeable but it’s not hot or spirity. Nice!
