With one of northern Europe's largest barrel cellars, we have a lot to choose from. For Batten Down The Hatches, we have hand- picked and tasted our way to a full-bodied, tasty and harmonious imperial stout. Cognac and aquavit from the barrels shine through easily, and help enhance the feeling of exclusive confectionery.

Bottle, bottle # 7321 / 7500 :), when comes the time that even Heineken will number their bottles...? Color: Black, light brown head. Aroma: Roasted malt, mocha, Cognac, vanilla. Taste: Roasted malt, molasses, sweetish, vanilla, mocha / caramel, fruity notes of plums and grapes, Cognac, spicy cinnamon notes. Boozy but not overwhelming boozy. Well balanced in between base beer and barrels. Over moderate to medium sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Full body, below average carbonation. Long lasting finish. A little bit on the sweet side for me, but overall very nice.
