Hemel & Aarde is brewed with the most heavily peated malts we could find. Not for the fainthearted. This powerful brew overwhelms you with smoke, chocolate and coffee. Flavour indication: smoke, chocolate, coffee Translates as Heaven & Earth

Black with minimal beige head. Massive peat, burnt toast, tart berries, yoghurt, barnyard. Taste is sour, with a light sweetness and burnt bitter finish. Medium bodied. Complex and interesting stuff, but not too into the yoghurt notes. Seems a bit infected or something.

Black colour with a beige head, good lasting. Aroma has notes of roasted malts, licorice, alcohol and peat. Flavor has notes of coffee, strong black chocolate notes and licorice. The final is mild bittery with coffee and licorice hints. Creamy and smooth on palate.

Dark and oily beer. Thick body of chocolate, coffee, dark malt and bread. Like they used all the malts they could get. Tastes rich and complex. Good beer.

huge gusher pours black under a kilometer big brown foam. i give respect to the metal cap, to keep this much power in balance for the time it took for me to open the bottle smells oaty, burnt malts . bit zhiskey in the back, wouldnt say peated though taste has some peat, unfortunatly, but no overkill. sweet, bit smokey . doable .

33 cl. Bottle sampled thx! to Kraddel. Bottled on 27/01/2011. Complete and utter gushes & smells infected even from a distance. Dark brown with a very big, collapsing mocha head. Nose is very vinous coffee grounds, ashes, mocha & vinegar. Tastes of soy sauces, ashes, coffee grounds with less wine vinegar than expected, very heavy on soy sauce and faint herbs. Carb. is very high in the way that is typical for an infected beer, it is not as bad as I thought that it would be upon opening. Still an infected mess more or less.

Rated from backlog. Roasted, a bit bit boozy, nose, milk, coffee, dark chocolate. Dark body with brown head, that last for a while, not a tonne of lacing. Taste is nicely sweet and roasted, some booze. Very well balanced. Overall, a very nice stout.

Tap @ Delft Bierfestival. Black colour, thin beige head. Nose is roasted malts, massive chocolate, some peatiness, but not too overpowering. Flavour is roasted malts, chocolate, peat again. Fairly bitter and dry. Low carbonation. Roasty finish. Good stuff.
