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.

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.

(Can, 0.5 l - 09.07.2022, thanks Hermod, at Arde, 20220114) The beer poured golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had rosemary, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, spiciness, rosemary, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, spicy and bitter. A weird spicy brew.

Blik gedeeld door Benzai, geprobeerd met Keukeman. Het is een diep donkerbruin tot zwart bier met een volle bruine schuimkraag. Het heeft een zoete Nutella achtige geur. De smaak is vol, chocolade en hazelnoten.

Blik gedeeld door Benzai. Zwart bier licht bruin schuim dat snel weg trekt. Aroma van cocos en smaak van chocolade en koffie. Lekker stroperig met een bitterzoete nasmaak.
