Drone² (8.5% ABV) is the successor of the Drone which we stopped producing. We increased the ingredients to get more aromas of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel and coffee! And of course, the alcohol percentage increased with it. The Drone² s our only beer with an artwork representing a male; we couldn't put a female artwork on a male bee ;-)

330ml bottle. Quasi black colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Roasty, dark malty and sweet-ish, caramel malty aroma, hints of toffee, dark chocolate, dark caramel, some cocoa, a touch of coffee. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty, and sweet-ish, caramel malty, notes of dark caramel, some toffee, coffee, cocoa, dark chocolate; a minimally warming, alcoholic touch in the finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, slightly cloying, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, scattered, prickly carbonation.
A bit disharmonious and heterogeneous - not fully convincing.

From tap at Utrechtse Bierbrouwersfestival 2016. Aroma is malty, caramel, spicy notes, raisins, touch of chocolate. Flavour is medium sweet. Body is medium. More like a Belgian Strong Ale, not bad per se, but I was hoping for an Imperial Porter.

Süßer, trocken herber Beginn, deutlich malzig. Schokolade, süffig, weich, süßlich, nett aber unspannend. 9/10/7/8//7 --- Beer aliased from original tick of Imperial Drone on 05 Mar 2019 at 10:38 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 4.5.

Bottle, Drone2. Color: Black, mocha head. Aroma: Roasted malt, coffee, caramel, spicy and fruity hints, chocolate. Taste: Quite smooth mouthfeel, roasted malt, subtle coffee, hints of chocolate and caramel, spices. Light fruity hints of blueberry. Medium to just over medium body, just under average carbonation. Moderate sweet and light going to moderate bitter. Unusual but nicely brewed Imperial Porter

Bottle, huge thanks Fil! Dark brown-black, tan head. Aroma... Raisins and alcohol. Taste... Raisins, caramel, dark malt. Ending dryish-sweetish. Dunno, okay but not my type.

On tap at LIB'19. Almost black colour, beige head. Aroma of fake milk chocolate, hint of roast, yeast, some off notes. Flavour follows, quite weak for something Imperial. Medium bodied at best.

Darkest brown, brown cream. Milk choc nose, praline, medium light body, pleasant roast, feels a tad thin after their other strong offerings.
