Fast gone dark-cream head over red-shot black beer. Sweet, but with a lot of roast/burnt; chocolate, roastmeat marinade, BBQ sauce. Pastry sweet, if in an acceptable way. Diary, double cream, and lots and lots of mocha and vanilla. Belgian pralines. Very full-bodied, viscous, alcoholheat. Again a very sweet Imperial Stout, but it has been - just - held in check. Thanks to Stef!

Taki spoko normalsik kawowy, smaczne. Tych oreo bym nie zgadl

27/XI/20 - 33cl can from Bierhalle Deconinck (Vichte), shared @ home, BB: 11/IX/23 (2020-1087)

Clear pitch black beer, big dense creamy white beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: malty, grains, good roast, lots of caramel, some ripe to overripe banana, cow fodder. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: bit sourish up front, banana touch, malty, good deep roast, crackers, some dark chocolate, lots of alcohol. Aftertaste: more roast, some banana, alcohol, bit acidic, pretty sugary, dried fruits, earthy touch, some tobacco, more roast, little spicy, very nice! Not getting much Oreo’s though. Lacks some vanilla for that.

Another stout variation by this Antwerp craft brewer, with added Oreo cookies and dubbed a “Russian imperial stout with cookies and cream”; can from Geers. Medium thick, creamy, opening, pale greyish beige head, black robe with hazy mahogany edges – of not more than about one millimetre. Aroma of bitter chocolate, molasses, black coffee, cognac, burnt raisins, beef stock, wet leather, baked fig, cognac, vague liquorice hint, caramel (enhanced by the Oreos), blood, ruby port. Cleanish, rather sweet but not overly sticky onset, candied dates, raisins, fresh fig and ripe red apple notes, softish carb, light sourish undertone; full, oily, smooth mouthfeel, thick black-chocolatey, caramelly and pecan-nutty core with a strong blood-like aspect on the sides but feeling entirely natural, and ending with coffee-like roasted bitterness – though not too severely so, and certainly not descending in ‘ashiness’. Instead, a nuttiness and outspoken caramelliness come more to the foreground in the end, paired with light spicy and herbal notes as well as rum-like, warming alcohol; this additional sweetness, appearing remarkably late in the ‘parcours’, does make it a bit sticky in the end, and is a flavour I can only ascribe to the added Oreos. The way these were integrated in this stout is quite unique: instead of going all ‘pastry’, this is still a relatively ‘typical’ strong stout the 21st-century way, but with this added flavour, sweetness and stickiness that does not shout “Oreos” all the way. In fact, their flavour has been added subtly and has been clearly altered, so that they add a special accent to a very solid stout – an accent that hardly betrays its Oreo nature. In fact, hadn’t I looked at the ingredients list, I probably would not even have guessed that this is the kind of cookies used here… Have an extra point for subtlety – I was expecting a sticky, overly decadent pastry stout but got a more than decent, almost ‘classically’ constructed imperial stout instead, which is a pleasant surprise. --- Beer merged from original tick of Black Dreams on 09 Nov 2020 at 14:40 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.

Can from Geers. Hazy black with a stable, thin, beige head. Inviting aroma of cigarette ash, burnt toast, chocolate powder, roasted peanuts, coffee roast, cream, vanilla, chocolate cake. Taste has sweet cream, sweetened fondant & biscuit, all in all adding up to an Oreo-like experience, accentuated by bitter earthy coffee & toast, a bit powdery with a subtle umami sidenote. Dry, toasty, peppery hoppy finish, vanilla cream & biscuit lingering but the tobacco ash found in the aroma returns too, as well as a warming whisky alcohol note. Medium to full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Very enjoyable, the pastry profile is apparent but still balanced. Not their best effort though, that remains Oep Tram Drei for now.

Pours black, medium sized, stable , creamcolored head. Smell is chocolaty, tad sharp perhaps. Roasty. Taste is sharp, bit boozy, strong yeastprofile. Chocolate, ashy, roasty side. Bit rough on the booze and roast. Intense dark fruits. No real oreo flavor.
