25/XI/22 - 33cl bottle @ Mash of the Titans tasting, Gentse Biervereniging, BB: 28/V/22 (2022-1693)
Pretty clear dirty brown beer, big aery and slightly irregular beige head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: wow, bad, very dirty, yeasty, lemon grass, funky, some dried fruits, not very good. MF: very lively carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit oxidized, bitter roast, yeasty, a bit dirty, weird sourish touch, quite some coconut. Aftertaste: sweet touch, malty, yeasty, chocolate notes, bitter, coconut, spicy, ok.

Pours black, medium-large sized , creamy, tanned-to-mocha , rising head. Scent is roasty. Some earthy / herbal touch by the peppers, but not much of the coconut. Ginger provides a sharp edge, comparable with the pepper. Taste is full, roasty, intense on the herbal side of the pepper, but not overly spicy. Very roasty, even a tad ashy. Very Belgian typical imperial stout. Rather bitter. medium fullbodied. High carbo. Decent. Coconut provides a mild, 'sweet' touch but remains fairly low. Ginger works as a sharp edge which - to me - more intensifies the lesser qualities, rather than to create a better end result.
