33cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Pitch black, no head. Aroma of sweet chocolate, alcohol, dark fruits, whiskey. Flavour is rather sweet, chocolate, roasted malts, bit of coffee, some dark fruits, alcohol, bit of plastic. Light bitterness. Very thick, syrupy mouthfeel, but the absence of carbonation makes this beer tough to finish. I prefer the regular H&V, still this is very nice.

Bottled. Big imperial stout like the hel en verdoemenis, but with clear oak chips added to aroma and taste, without the beer becoming too dry. It is still very nice and creamy, which keeps the liquid strong chocolate taste alive. I should have bought more bottles, again. :-) Tap at Copenhagen Beerfestival 09. Dark flat. Soft malty, nicely rounded. Bit red wine as well, malty. Soft and balanced. 4.2
