This big mother of a Russian Imperial Stout is often considered one of our true classics. Despite the 13% ABV, you'll find Black Albert to be dangerously drinkable. With its thick, tar-like body, it's definitely a sipper, but the alcohol is very well-hidden.

26/9/19: Big gusher, luckily managed to avoid it getting over my keyboard. Biig roasty, dark chocolate smell. Thick mouthfeel, high carbonation. Taste is metallic at first, followed by massive roast and a heavy bitterness. Nice flavours, but carbonation annoys me.
30/4/22: Black, with loads of soft brown foam. Smell is fairly raisiny, some light roast. Body is soft but pretty thin, carbonation is quite nice. Taste is watery, some licorice, bit of roast. Quite nice bitter vs. sweet balance, just wish it would have more taste

De mijne is lekker lekkerder. Ietwat boozy. Niet erg dat ik nog zo'n unit thuis heb staan, lekker laten rijpen.

Half of a 330ml bottle (2016 vintage) at Beer Happens in Moscow. Pours pitch black with a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, dark chocolate. Taste is medium sweet, roasted malt and coffee, warming alcohol, big bitterness. Very nice one, great name too.
