Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is roasted malt with coffee, cocoa, mocha, coconut, and a touch of liquorice. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is medium to full with low carbonation. Very good coffee and coconut Stout, a little more body and carbonation would have pushed this into the upper levels.

Finalement il n'y aura pas eu de gros suspense pour ce thriller, Imperial stout collaboratif entre Laugar et Austmann intégrant café et noix de coco. Dès le nez, les arômes pleins de café, chocolat, noix de coco, charbon avec un alcool aux teintes de cognac, sont remplis de promesse. Le visuel est lui conforme au style avec un noir total sans mousse. L'effervescence est quasi nulle. L'attaque est parfaitement équilibrée, à la fois souple et puissant, avec une amertume plutôt poussée qui donne de la légèreté, des arômes torréfiés puissants et un alcool chaleureux. Un léger poivre agrémente l'ensemble. La deuxième bouche est quant à elle riche et intense. Les arômes de coco sont davantage mis en avant tout en restant justement dosés. L'alcool, à 9,5 %, donnant des teintes de cognac est également plus présent, chaleureux et soutenant particulièrement bien l'imperial stout. L’arrière-bouche est sur une fraîcheur houblonnée, quelque peu herbacée, avec des arômes de charbon plus présents et légèrement astringente. Le final, plus sur la coco est bien amenée pas l'amertume. Excellentes corpulences et longueur. Avec ce thriller, vous allez aimer à vous faire peur.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with small, thick, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, beige to tan head. Chocolately, roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, burnt coffee, roasted coffee beans, dark chocolate, couverture, molasses, coconut overtones gain more weight with time. Taste is bitter, roasty, chocolately dark malty and slightly nutty, slightly sweet, notes of coffee and coconut, hints of dark chocolate, a touch of treacle and molasses. Oily texture, relatively prickly carbonation, minimally sticky palate. A tad too much coconut in the end for me...
