Bottle from Bram. Many thanks! Pitch black colour, brown foam. Nose of roasted malts, coffee, ashes. Heavy body, nice peaty notes. Not very easy drinkable, but a nice roasty ashy sipper.

33cl bottle from JefVerstrate, many thanks! Euro swap 2/2020. Poured pitch black in color with a tan head. Slightly lighter feels to this version compared to the other ones. Some smoke and whisky notes, roastedness and that same chocolate notes. Wood and whisky with a slight vanilla touch in finish.

One of the three barrel aged variants on this new BramBrass stout, shared with tderoeck at Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging. Open, bubbly, pale greyish beige, dissolving head, black robe with thin, hazy mahogany edges. Aroma of strong wet peat (indeed Ledaig-like peat levels here), old ‘fondant’ chocolate, coffee grounds, dry earth, tree bark, cigar ashes, dried bladderwort, bayleaf. Sweetish onset, hinting at candied dates, dried prunes and figs, beef stock umami accent, soft carb, full oily body; bitter-chocolatey and hard-caramelly middle with lots of coffee roastedness in the tail, overpowered by a strong peatiness, going all smoky and ashy (cigar-like), with herbal hop spiciness and heating, clearly very whisky-tasting alcohol. The earthiness and ashiness of the regular version is even further accentuated by the Ledaig treatment here – very well done, but you have to like peat, otherwise better leave this one alone…
