"Double" (imperial) wheat stout.
This imperial really strikes back. From a strange country far, far away, comes the only Imperial Wheat Stout in the known universe. Once again, the ’Hand’ brewery - four guys brewing in their spare time, on an absurdly small scale - boldly goes where no brewery has gone before.

Poured from a bottle it is a dark brown with slight head. The aroma is of molasses that translates to the taste. It lingers on palate

0.5l bottle. Black body, quickly diminishing brown head. Aroma of chocolate, reisin, coffee and nutmeg. Taste of chocolate, figs, plums, creme and some floral hops in the finish. Medium body, creamy texture. The alcohol is noticeable, but not harsh. Awesome beer.

Bottle from OleR, shared by Cuso. This was The Surprise of the evening during our small tasting session. Aroma coffee, chocolate, vanilla, clearly noticeable wheat character. Some light banana appears later. First hint of an interesting beer. Pitch black colour, dark brown head. Taste has clear wheat ale characteristics, wheat, vanilla. At the same time roasted, coffee, some chocolate. Finish goes more in line with the "stout half" of this beer. Really exciting, interesting, fun beer. Complex artisanal jewel. I did not think it was even possible to blend wheat beers and stouts this well. It retains characteristics of both in a very tasty and easily drinkable way. Big experience for me.
