At Gents Bierfestival. Imperial stout from this young craft brewery in Breda, with thin, pale greyish beige head and cloudy chocolate brown colour with warmer bronze hue. Aroma of hazelnuts, coffee grounds, raw red cabbage, pear, dried plum. Fruity onset, quite some out of place sourishness (brambleberry juice), sweetness of banana, pear and fig, softish carbo, creamy mouthfeel; nutty and caramelly malt body, rather straightforward and not quite thick and oily enough for the intended style, bit powdery towards the end with some herbal hop notes, not providing sufficient bitterness; some coffee grounds roasted notes lingering. Needs more body, more ’blackness’ and a lot of finetuning.

Thank you for sharing RB Crew! Sampled 330 ml. bottle @ GBF 2017. Dark brown to black, little head. Nose is overly herbal, cheap cocoa, cacao, thin umami. Taste is chocolate, herbal mocha, overly sweet liquorice, middling beer but the sour finish ruin it. Thin bodied for the style with sour finish.
