25 October 2025. At “Gentse Biervereniging Kelderschatten” (Baracuna). Cheers to the whole crew!

Dried fig, date, prune, brandy, mocha, aniseed, liquorice. Sweetish raisin, fig & prune; spicy liquorice, bitter mocha. Peppery & earthy hops, toast, dried fruits, warming liqueur-like alcohol. Medium to full body, oily texture, average carbonation. Quite spicy, 'Belgian' Imperial Stout, but worthwhile.

Backlog

Not bad, but not very good either. Fairly metallic, bit of dark fruit.. blackberries? Thin, bitter, roasted and plenty of coffee. Doesn't really distinguish itself amongst other average imperial stouts. Needs to be thicker, richer and creamier.
