Het Meesterstuk van 2016 is een Russian Imperial Smoked Milk Stout van 11%, gebrouwen door Jopenbrouwers Tom Provo en Cor Baan. Het is een heerlijk volmondig zwaar biertje. Enerzijds door de toevoeging van lactose, wat zorgt voor romigheid. Anderzijds door de vele complexe gebrande mouten waardoor het bier een rokerig karakter krijgt. Een vol smakend bier met aroma’s van koffie en chocolade. De bitterheid is zacht en subtiel door het gebruik van Europese hopsoorten.

Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malts, smoke, leather, dark chocolate, liquorice, coffee, raisins, trekdrop, spicy notes. Flavour is medium sweet with a light bittersweet finish. Has some nice creaminess from the lactose indeed. Body is full. A smoked imperial milk stout with the kind of spicy notes and sweet raisins you get in a good Quadrupel, I dig it!

Bottle 330ml (BB 26.10.2017). Beer is completely black with large, light-brown head, long in time with very good lacing. Aroma is smoked at first, then roasty with chocolate notes. There is also some milk sweetness behind. Smoked and roasty in taste with medium, roasty, agresive and long but really good bitterness. Delicate sweetness with small alcohol hints appears in the end. Beer is smooth, full body, warming inside a bit, generally very good and tasty. Nice combination of smoke and milk in Imperial Stout with very good balance.

Bottle. This beer could be the champion of all the beers that do justice their boisterous names. Cause you can all find it here. Smoke, lactic milky chocolate, full body yet smooth mouthdeel, creamy. Evidently strong yet relatively easy to drink. All this with a moderate beechwood smoke element, introducing bacon and smoked ham. Very complex, very well balanced, much wow, so rating, many tasty. Doge.

Pours with wonderfoul brown head which is pretty persistent. Aroma of cocoa with milk.. well more like a cream and smoked notes but more like smoked wood. Overall it probides a very interesting aroma of strong cream with wood and typical stout notes. The mouthfeel is sweet, creamy and cocoa-like. Could have been more thick, maybe somehow less sweet (but itd a smoked imperial sweet stout) but still is very interesting and enjoyable. Great beer and best imperial milk stout I’ve drunk.
