This big mother of a Russian Imperial Stout is often considered one of our true classics. Despite the 13% ABV, you'll find Black Albert to be dangerously drinkable. With its thick, tar-like body, it's definitely a sipper, but the alcohol is very well-hidden.

Nearly black with a thin dark head. Roasted malts, molasses, dark ripe fruits, alcohol, oak, a bit of earth. Medium to thin body. Very warm booze in the finish with some molasses. Dry. Too hot for its own good.

Zwart bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is behoorlijk rokig met iets van koffie, wat hout en bessen. OK.

31/5/2025. Bottle courtesy of my PSG supporting friend Jean-Baptiste, enjoyed as a finisher whilst watching their destruction of Inter. Félicitations mon ami. Pours very dark brown with a short lasting frothy beige head. Aroma is black treacle, roasted malt, chocolate, liquorice, coffee, dried fruits, fruit cake. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness, slightest tart edge. Medium to full body, smooth, soft carbonation. Warming boozy notes to finish. Very good beer. Stunning performance.

Castaño oscurísimo, opaca, escasa espuma beige que reduce a anillo casi de inmediato. Aroma y sabor profundo y complejo, muy rico en matices, vermut, malta tostada, frutos rojos, caramelo, vino, cacao, ceniza... textura oleosa, cálida, deliciosa...vaya pedazo de cerveza
