Vanille, chocolat et bourbon! Voici les ingrédients dans la recette permettant à cet imperial porter d'être digne d'intérêt. D'autant plus que son équilibre est globalement bon. Une texture un peu plus riche, davantage de fioritures et un final plus abouti en auraient fait une grande bière .Mais le plaisir est au rendez vous et le moment de dégustation agréable. En verre nous sommes sur un brun très foncé, quasi noir. Pas de mousse cependant avec une effervescence peu poussée. Le café est efficace sur le café, le chocolat et une pointe de bourbon. Ce dernier et la vanille s'exprimeront davantage en bouche. L'alliance des arômes est en tout cas des plus réussie. L'attaque est d'emblée sur un bon équilibre aromatique mais également malt/houblon avec une bonne fraîcheur. Café, chocolat, vanille, bourbon avec une pointe poivrée sont au programme. La deuxième bouche voit le chocolat se renforcer avec cependant une arrière bouche s'orientant davantage sur la vanille et le bourbon et proposant ainsi un bon relief. La troisième monte un peu sur l'amertume avant un final long qui reprend l'ensemble des nos arômes mais sans surprise et sans réelle passion. L'alcool à 10,2 % Abv est bien intégré avec un sucre bien dosé. Un peu de consistance et de panache en plus aurait fait la différence. Cet Imperial Porter ne fait pas Boom, mais c'est une bonne bière.

33cl bottle bought in De Bierboom from Rudy, the brewer. Poured into a Westmalle chalice at home on 2nd Aug 2017. Very dark brown body, fast fading tanned topping. Coffee, caramel and vanilla in both the nose and taste, sweet initially then a little bitter towards the end of each sip. Hides the alcohol well. Another fine beer from an old friend (I have been using De Bierboom for bottle tasting and buying for many, many years).

Original rating: 5 February 2017. At Brugs Bierfestival. 7/4/8/4/14=3.7.
1 June 2018. Bottle from Bierboom. Shared with Anke!
Pours cloudy black with a big, diminishing, foamy, beige head. Strong aroma of salty licorice, raisin, roasted malt, coffee & cream, dark chocolate, candied dates, vanilla, butterscotch. It tastes medium malty sweet, hints of chocolate & candied fruits, and light roasted bitter, some coffee & spices in the back. Toasty, herbal hop finish, a tad peppery even, with warming whisky alcohol. Full body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Very aromatic and tasty, better than I remembered. Well done, Rudy.

Thank you for sharing tderock + kraddel! Sampled @ Bruges Beer Festival 2017. Black, creamy tanned head. Nose is mocha, cacao, instant chocolate milk, instant coffee, lightly metallic with some vanilla. Taste is cacao, mocha, bit thin with lots of vanilla, more than you would expect, possible lactose maybe?, lightly metallic, instant coffee. Body is bit thin, chocolate syrup, instant coffee. Not as good as these kinds of beers can be, bit thin, metallic, more instant coffee than sweet coffee etc. but pleasant to drink & definitely far better than expected.

Clear dark brown beer, creamy irregular beige head, pretty stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: caramel, vanilla, crème brûlée, hazelnuts, sweet, roasted. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: lots of caramel, sweet, vanilla, burned caramel, sugary. Aftertaste: dark chocolate, more caramel, crème brûlée, vanilla, bit sweet, lemony touch, bitter hops, very roasted finish. Great beer, nice complexity!

The newest creation (after many months of experimenting) in Rudy Vossen’s Bierboom series, a beer with international ambitions, brewed with six malt types and two hop varieties. Thick and frothy, pale beige, densely moussy head over a very dark burgundy-hued bronze colour, blackish in general appearance. Interesting bouquet of liquorish, dried banana, sweet sherry, fig, butterscotch, marzipan, ’macarons’, cappuccino, old cloth, dry earth, mocha, cooked salsify, hazelnuts, peach. Sweet onset but not cloying, hints of fig and banana, very light ’meaty’ umami touch with a sourish elderberry undercurrent, strongish carbo (a bit much for this style actually), soft and ’fluffy’ caramelly and toasted malt bittersweetness with a bitter chocolate-coloured finish, pleasant and unexpected coconut and marzipan-like aromas retronasally, some earthy hop bitterness and whisky-like, warming alcohol. Nice and aromatic (clearly flavored with something extra), full-bodied, balanced but a bit overcarbonated and perhaps lacking a bit in the thick, syrupy, chocolatey malt sweetness I tend to expect from anything labelled an ’imperial porter’ - in that sense a kind of compromise between porter and quadrupel, but in any case an enjoyable beer, clearly more interesting and ambitious than the existing beers in this range. Nice one Rudy!
