Keg at the brewery taproom Amsterdam. A dark reddy mahogany brown coloured pour with a lasting sticky light tan head. Aroma is ashy roast, spicy, dusty, singed pine. Flavour is composed of slightly acrid roast, ash, charred, no big sorachi, bitter roast. Palate is semi sweet, bitter moderate carbonation. Drying finish.

Ce Sorachi Ace Stout peut prétendre aisément comme la noire du midi de la brasserie de l’Hermitage à la dénomination Hoppy Stout avec une mise en avant indéniable de l'amertume. Tout comme la noire du midi, je regrette une base de stout pas assez assumée. Cependant, l'alliance malt torréfié / Sorachi Ace fonctionne à merveille et donne naissance à un stout pêchu et vraiment sympa. L'alcool, à 7,8 %, très efficace permet en plus de lui donner un bon petit caractère et soutien bien les arômes. Prise en bouche et longueur sont excellentes. Davantage de complexité aurait pu me faire chavirer. En verre, nous sommes sur un joli brun limpide paré d'une fine couche de mousse beige. Le nez est sur le café, chocolat et cet arôme d'orange un peu rance caractéristique du Sorachi Ace. L'attaque voit des arômes torréfiés moins riches avec caramel et un léger chocolat, accompagnés par un poivre bien présent et surtout le Sorachi Ace sur le devant. La texture y est fine avec un sucre relativement présent (sans être surdosé). En deuxième bouche voit l'alcool se renforcer pour tonifier un peu plus l'ensemble et toujours avec cette amertume punchy. La suite n'amène rien de plus mais reste très agréable. Plaisant.

Canned 330ml. -from De Bierkoning Amsterdam. Black coloured, small to medium sized pale beige head, hops and chocolate in the nose. Light roasted malt, chocolate, mild coffee and noticable hops with touch of wood in bitter hoppy finish. Quite nice surprise.

0.33 l can from 'Sterk Avondverkoop', canned in December 2018. Clear, very dark ruby to black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, slightly fruity aroma of dark chocolate, caramel, blueberry, cassis and a touch of coffee. Gently sweet, malty, moderately roasty, fruity-resiny taste of dark chocolate, licorice, caramel, tropical fruits, cassis, blueberry and some pine, followed by a medium long, gently roasty-bitter, moderately earthy-dry, slightly resiny finish. Medium body, smooth and gently effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Interesting beer, pretty hoppy for a Stout (as expected, of course ), I've had Black IPA's which were less hoppy.
