Kees & Menno thought about malts. Smoked malts as the base malt for a new brew… Smoked malt from Bamberg to be precise. The choice of base malt was unanimous. But (headstrong who?) they wanted to make two different beers with it. March 14th 2017was Imperial Stout (Frack & Frick) day at our place, April 12th was Barley Wine (Frick & Frack) day at Brouwerij Kees!' place. Try them alongside to taste the obvious differences and unavoidable similarities.

Pitch black pour with a fine-grained light tan head. Tons of smoke up front, bacon, ash, but also some very nice dark chocolate, dark cherries and roasted coffee beans. Full body, quite a heavy beer, with light carbonation and a smokey fruity finish. Very smokey but surprisingly good.

Draught from tap 23 at ØX Tap Room. Near-clear, pitch black body. No head, spotty lacing. Nicely smoked aroma with chocolate malts beneath. Smoked meat to the flavour character comes together very well with a firm chocolate touch. Lingering, mid-sweet, smoked ending. Mellow smooth in the mouth. Again a great brew from De Molen. (In friendly company with bergstaden and Finn, Trondheim 04.08.2017).

Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft rich dark malts, earthy and with a mild roast. Little dark malt, cream. Strong but smooth smoke. Little bitterness on the smooth finish. Pretty smoky for me but decent none the less.

Bottle @ home shared with Inoven. Opaque black color, medium to full sized light brown colored head that lasts for quite a long time. Aroma is malts, roasted and lightly smoked malts. Taste malts, roasted malts, light liquorice, dark malts, malt bitter, only slightly smoke (fortunately), perhaps a distant hint of chocolatety coffee. Medium body and carbonation. Nice.
