Zwart bier met schuim wat snel wegzakt. Smaak is licht bitter en "heet", met iets van bittere chocolade en ietwat rook. Peper overheerst iets te veel wat mij betreft.

Imperial stout spiced with chilli peppers, at MEUG in Antwerp. Medium thick, pale yellowish beige head with open middle, jet black robe. Aroma of very outspoken (dried) habanero and other chilli peppers, 'fondant' chocolate, toasted bread, hazelnuts, black peppercorns, leather, soy sauce, licorice, nutmeg, whisky. Very restrained in sweetness, some dried fig, sourish undertone, light cured meat-like umami; soft carbo, thick oily mouthfeel. Bittersweet malt base, nutty and toasty, more bitter than sweet with a licorice-like factor towards the end (as is often the case in these new 'impies'), lingering bitter black chocolate but above all, a strong, burning chilli heat dominating. A bit much to be taken all too seriously, actually - I had many peppered stouts by now but most manage to limit the chilli factor to a colourful accent of heat in the finish, accentuating alcohol and hops, but in this case the chilli heat overpowers too much even for me, being a great amateur of all forms of piquanterie, as is distracts too much from the beer's own features.

Tasting glass draft @ MEUG 2018. Black, little tanned head. Nose is dull iron, plastic, vegetable chilli, low liquorice, syrup. Taste is better but not optimal, chilli is bit vegetable, herbal, basic roasted malts, grainy, dark fruit & nice chilli burn that builds. Basic roasted, grainy body. Not optimal but okay with nice lingering chilli burn.
