Brewing Imperial Stout is always a kind of ritual here - starting early in the morning with mountains of grain, stretching through painfully slow lautering process and endless boil ending late at night. After careful fermentation we lager it for months and when we feel it’s smooth enough, we add the finishing touch. We thought this one might work nicely with some hazelnuts supported with a dose of vanilla and cocoa. What we got is a robust 11% pitch-black brew tasting like fine pralines from the darkest possible chocolate. Bitter finish, no lactose, no cloying sweetness, just 10+ different malts and the occult art of brewing in perfect harmony.

Can from De Baron Van Wolvega. Aroma is roasted malt with hazelnut, coffee, some vanilla, milk chocolate, fudge, cappuccino. Plenty of nutty notes throughout, which pleases me. Flavour is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Above medium body, not as full as I'd like. Otherwise very tasty.

12 February 2022. At Winter Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks for hosting, Tim, and cheers to the whole crew!

Hazy black, thin, beige head. Aroma of hazelnut, chestnut, fondant, cashew, chocolate sauce, vanilla bean, toast. Taste has sweet date & prune in a toasty, hazelnutty, praliné-like malt profile with creamy notes. Earthy hoppy finish, quite toasty, nutty, still some fondant; warming brandy-like alcohol. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. All about the malts, less about the hazelnut actually.

Pours black, not much head. Scent is mild, some chocolate. Taste is medium intense, faded chocolate. Toffee, rather boozy, bit harsh bitterness. Hazelnut is lost.

50cl can @ Brewver Winter Gathering '22. BB 07/09/2031 (yes).
Noire, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme aux effluves marquées par les malts - pas mal de chocolat, choco noir et brun avec un rétro un peu de fruits noirs
Palais est épais, assez boozy, chocolaté, caramel, grillé avec un retour un peu 'noble' dans une approche plus DE/CZ au niveau de la levure - effet lager ? cela apporte un fruité plaisant noir-rouge qui contraste avec la base des malts. Retrouve le bon gros stout américain avec ce léger twist européen. Ici, pas d'extraits juste des malts.
