AB:21 is a liquorice and blackcurrant infused imperial stout. Rolling in at an imposing 12% ABV, this huge and decadent dark beer dials down the charred roastiness and focuses instead on the rich, full-bodied chocolate and dark fruit character of the style.
The addition of blackcurrant enhances the dark fruit aspect of our latest concept beer, while the liquorice brings flavours of aniseed and treacle. A brandy-like warmth replaces roast malt as the backbone of this complex brew.
ABV: 12%
OG: 1150
IBU: 50
Malts: Brown, Extra Pale, Flaked Oats
Hops: Bramling X, Galena
Style: Stout / Porter

Sehr gewürziger Malzantrunk. Typische Schokoladennoten fehlen, die Kräuternoten scheinen der Intensität gegenzuwirken. 10/6/7/7//7

Lots of licorice and berries, mixing salty and sweet nicely. Very easy to drink. Awesome balance. Nice idea. It works, great!

23/IX/16 - on tap @ Borefts Bier Festival - BB: n/a (2016-1077) Thanks to the Belgian ratebeer crew for sharing today's beers!
Clear dark brown to purple beer, no head. Aroma: aniseed, more aniseed, bit sweet, liquorish. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of aniseed, liquorish, bah, not much else. Aftertaste: bit sweet, alcohol, dried fruits, more liquorish, aniseed. Not my thing.
