Black stout beer with figs.

Black Mamba, a collaboration brew with brewery 't Gaverhopke from Nieuwenhove, is a stout to say the least. With its 10.5% it is an ideal tasting beer, we have incorporated a nice freshness into it by using figs during the brewing process.

Bottle from LDW. Dark brown/black colour, beige foam. Roasty, notes of coffee, brown sugar, dried fruit, dates. Very well balance between roastiness, sweetness and fruitiness. Good!

2/III/20 - 33cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker), shared @ home, BB: n/a, bottled: IV/19 (2020-203)

Clear dark brown beer, big solid creamy beige to brown head, very stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: nice roast, molasses, coffee, some soy sauce, caramel. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very roasted start, bitter, some coffee, charcoal, sweet malts, slightly sourish, dark chocolate, some molasses, thick and luscious, caramel, some dried fruits. Aftertaste: nice roast, some soy sauce, caramel, very roasted, quite some umami, sweet, alcohol touch, some phenols, hint of overripe banana. Probably the best Gaverhopke beer I ever had!

Pours black, medium sized, relatively stable, darkly tanned head. Scent is sharp, typical Belgian style Imperial Stout. Rosty, but realtively dry ( not as creamy and syrupy as the american counterparts ). Taste is full, roasty, relatively high carbonation and astrignency. Ashy, burnt malts. I miss a full body and complexity here. Sharp, with an accidic touch by the roastyness of the malts. Not great.
