(Draught at Billie's Bier Kafétaria, Antwerpen, 19 Oct 2023) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, caramel, toffee, hazelnuts and maple syrup. Malty, roasted taste with chocolate, sweet espresso, hazelnuts, caramel, toffee, maple syrup and a balanced coffee bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich, sweet and warming. Powerful, but hides a fair amount of the 15% pretty well. Great beer!

Vom Fass im Muted Horn bei der 5rd Anniversary Celebration im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-10 getrunken. Dieses IStout kommt deutlich mit einer leichten Liebstöckel von Ahorn Sirup daher. Dazu kommen schöne Schokoladen/Mokkanoten dazu. Am Gaumen hat dieses Stout eine kräftige Süße und eine vollen Körper. Der hohe Alkoholgehalt ist sehr gut eingebunden. Ein wunderbare Stout!

Cute small can, which I like for a high abv beer like this. Pours absolutely black, small tanned head fades fast. Scent is coffee, sweet, roasty, mild maple like sweetness/coffee like aroma, bit toffee / caramel. Taste is super thick, dense, and wide. Loads of flavors combined exceptionally well. Coffee toffee, maple-like sweetness roasty, mild bitterness ( perceived value, probably high in IBU), sparkle higher carbonation than others in the genre, creating a more uplifting, slightly less heavy-on-the-palate kinda mouthfeel. Personal preference is heavy as can be, but I can see how many people would prefer this, as well as this being more rare nowadays. Very in balance. Noticeably strong ( in intensity) and a hard, sharp, alcoholic finish without ever getting even close to being boozy. This is premium stuff!

Canned, 250 ml, shared with Max, Miro B and kajser27. Black with brownish head. Chocolate, some fruity notes, coffee, cocoa, lots of maple, quite sweet with bitter finish. Oily and dense. Low carbonation. Full bodied. Warming. Very intensive and probably not easy to drink in larger quantity, can see why it comes in a small package.

Quite alcoholic even for the abv, yet still a bit thin body. Lots of maple and coffee. Pretty sweet but also has some dryness/bitterness. Good, but a bit disappointing considering the hype.
