Kerel Stout heeft alle kenmerken van een klassieke Stout, maar heeft net dat beetje extra. De brouwers hebben koffie en chocolade toegevoegd en dat zorgt voor een fijnzinnige mokka-toets.

Black with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some grassy notes. Flavour is quite bittersweet with the roasted malt and then a little treacle. Too gassy.

Thanks to Alengrin! 330 ml. bottle sampled @ “Belgian Ticks Tasting Ghent”. Dark brown amber (but of course, yay) tanned head. Nose is BE style thin chicory roast, cacao, herbal, thin iron dark beer,… Taste is herbal, thin cacao, chicory roast, grainy, weak & even weaker if you realize that they actually added coffee & chocolate,… Body is chicory, cacao, tin, metallic, thin herbal roast,… Kind of “stout” that only an average & below Belgian brewery could release. Strangely not that different in build-up to their RIS which had double the ABV.

Pours dark chocolaty brown. Smell is sweet, earhty, some caramelly roast. Taste is dry, roasted barley , thick roasty aspects like coffee and chocolate. No real aftertaste. Weak body and high carbo (sigh) as in most Belgian beers. I assume they used sugar to get the ABV up ? As it is added as a sweet stout, I expected lactose. Didn’t get lactose at all.
