Stout version of Gulden Draak Classic, since 2018.

De Gulden Draak Imperial Stout is een donkerbruin tot zwartkleurig bier en is het zwaarste bier in het Gulden Draak gamma met zijn 12° alcoholprocentvolume. De typische gebrande smaak wordt verkregen door het toevoegen van gebrande, gekarameliseerde mout die exclusief hiervoor gebruikt wordt. Het is een zeer goed uitgebalanceerd zwaar bier.
De afdronk is rijk en krachtig. Bij het proeven van dit speciaalbier ontdek je aroma's van banaan en chocolade. De nagisting komt prachtig tot zijn recht en zal de hogere alcoholen perfect uitbalanceren.

-Alcoholvolume: 12% – 25° Plato

Bottle @ home. Clear, dark brown, almost black body under a fine tan head. Aroma has dark malt, caramel, dark fruit and some chocolate. Taste is smooth, sweet, dark, mild roasted malt, dry fruit, toffee, hint of chocolate, vinous alcohol and pleasant bitterness. Balanced body and long lasting, lovely aftertaste. Nice sample of a Belgium stout.

Very dark colour with a slight red hue. Small, light head. Flavor was good overall, quite sweet and had a fruitcake-esque flavour in terms of the spices and fruits. A bit heavy on the syrup, felt more like a belgian strong than an imperial stout.

Bottle, small bubbly head, extremely deep brown colour with just a red streak, aroma of nuts, lots of yeast, hints of smoke and roastiness, flavor of sweet bitterish chocolate and candy with a hint of nuttiness, very sweet and quite cloying. Not the greatest of stouts.

330ml bottle from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Dark, dark brown and opaque with a thin layer of khaki head. Sweet Belgian yeast aroma, candy sugar, espresso. molasses. Deliciously sweet, more yeasty notes and tons of molasses and treacle. Boozy warming hit going down with light bitterness and a little vegetal note in the finish. Big thick oily body. Wow, so much to this. An incredible Belgian imperial stout.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 12%. Very dark brown to black colour, moderate beige head. Vinous and malty aroma, notes of lightly roasted malts, cheap red wine and dark dried fruits. The flavour has the same elements as the aroma, not too sweet, not too heavy, moderate to low bitterness. Not your usual imperial stout, but interesting and nice to drink.
