Zacht en comfortabel drankje. Choco iets te overheersend.

Bottled 330ml (Beergium)
Opaque colour, not much head to talk about. Roasted, peaty aroma is also a bit milky. Medium to full-bodied, smooth palate. Toasted malts, licorice, vanilla, bourbon, peat and then some warming alcohol. Like in the nose, also flavour has some milkyness. Pleasant, sippable imperial stout. Could be a bit more roasted but otherwise nice dessert beer.

Bottle shared in London - picked up from Beergium. Pours clear, deep brown with a creamy, tan head. Crazy aroma, some maple syrup, vanilla, molasses, chocolate. Big sweet flavour, lots of pancakes and maple syrup, more vanilla, chocolate cake, mild scorched earth bitterness. Full bodied, lightly chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming finish, with more vanilla, burnt marshmallows, rich cocoa, booze, raisins. Lots of fun.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with light tan head. Aromas of light nutty chocolate, dry coffee, and roasted malts. Flavours follow same with sweet vanilla and a light floral booziness. A perfect balance between a dry stout and a super sweet killer.

330 ml bottle from Beergium, vintage 2016, bb 06-09-2021.
Dark brown body, with a small, creamy, beige head.
Aroma of dark chocolate fudge, cocoa, bourbon, some vanilla, dark fruits.
Tastes of melting dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, bourbon, liquorice, some tobacco, subtle booze.
Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes roasty, moderate sweet, warm, a bit astringent, moderate boozy, wooden, with coffee, cocoa, liquorice, tobacco, bourbon.

Very tasty. Big and complex, with the bourbon barrel well integrated and the sweetness and roastiness well dosed. Alcohol is noticeable, but overall well balanced for the ABV. Not my favourite Dugges Imperial Stout, but a lovely, dense sipper nonetheless.

Keg at A&H, 05/08/17. Black with a decent tan head. Nose is dark chocolate box, spice, coffee, light roast, charr, molasses. Taste comprises Kahlua, toffee, chocolate, mellow dark fruit rinds, toffee fudge, liqourice, mellow roast. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a rising boost. Decent well balanced impy, drinks below the ABV, not quite a top draw affair for me.

Keg at Anspach & Hobday. Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Lovely Kahlua nose. Smooth palate, a little dry, good fine carbonation. Lovely dark malts here - sweet Kahlua coffee liqueur with lots of chocolate and a little dark fruits. Smooth finish. Love the liqueur vibe here, excellent Impy.
